Suggest Dosage For Tramadol
I started for pain tramidal. 200 mg pills 3x a day. I m not sure how it got this high over past year. I was on 200 am and pm I m a62 year old man I have been depressed forever andhave been on Effexor time release 150 mg for years. I found tramidal not only helped my arthritis and migraines from a prolactinoma but it helped with depression. I found I was hung over in the morning so added a pill around 4 am which then was not feeling bad in the morning. And went up to 200 tid. How do I wean off.

Hi,
Tramadol is analgesic and also it has an anti depressant effect. You can wean off by decreasing the dose gradually by 50 mg every 3 days. Other way is to take another pain killer like ipbrufen and to stop it all of a sudden. Yet I would recommend that you should be under medical supervision for that.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
