Re: Tramadol: Digest Number 378

[Guest guest]

Kam,

Believe me it's not unusual for a doctor to ask his assistant about drugs

he's prescribing, especially if he doesn't prescribe them often.

Tramadol is not for everyone. It's great in that it is not a narcotic but

many people have a problem with nausea while taking it.

We don't write for much of it at the pain clinic I work at but I work with a

nurse who swears by it.

Also wanted to let others know (especially Ann) that there are two other

drugs out that are similar to Neurontin. Lyricia & Cymbalta are being more

heavily prescribed right now.

Best wishes,
