Hi. I've been lurking for about a year and now am finally getting back into the swing of things, needing the information on this board. Years ago, I posted at DB and bugdryers. Since then I've tried to make do with what my docs will prescribe. I've had fibro for about 8 years and I was diagnosed with bipolar 6 years ago. I take Seroquel and Cymbalta to manage moods and help (some) with pain. Plus I'm taking tramadol xr to help with pain, too. Unfortunately my doc quit prescribing xanax 6 years ago and instead want me to take more Seroquel during the day to manage anxiety, but that stuff makes me feel like a zombie. It's hard enough to wake up after taking my regular dose at night. Plus, I'm not a fan of the tramadol either. I've tried to wean myself down off it, but wind up feeling horrible wd. And I can't get my doc to switch to a different pk... I had to go through the third degree just to keep the tramadol I've been getting after the recent schedule change. So, hopefully I can use the info here and interact w/many of you. Thanks for listening. Take care!!
