Hey, you might want to take note of the fact that Tramadol has some SSRI properties in and of itself, and that it *is* a quasi-opiate and can be somewhat addictive regardless of what many docs may say. Also, (probably due to the SSRI properties) taking substantially more than the reccomended dosage of Tramadol can lead to siezures. Just be careful!

> Hey, I've been off of Cymbalta for five days now, and if it weren't for the fact that I know I'm having withdrawals, I would think that I was going crazy.The shocks in my head along with the body spasisms are enough to make you....well I'm sure you know what I'm talking about.The only relief that I have gotten is from the fact that I take Tramadal for my lower back pain, and i also take Ambien to help me sleep. The Tramadal seems take the edge off for a while, but doesn't last for long, and that may be due to the fact that I've been on it for so long.I take one fifty milg, at noon and one at night around seven oclock.I take the Ambien about thirty minutes befor bed and I do seem to sleep ok although my wife says I do toss and turn a little more due to the withdrawals. I do hope this will help,I know what it is to go through this, my prayers are with anyone who has to deal with getting off of this drug. Good luck Howard
