What Causes Body Pain While On Tramadol And Gabapentin?
hi Dr. my doctor gave me a prescription for tramadol and gabapentin months ago for my severe body pain and it does not help me all. years ago a Dr. gave me a prescription for methadone and skelaxin,I took them for only a week,I stopped taking them because all I did was sleep 24/7.Im thinking even though for that short period of time it built up my tolerance to medication. is that possible?

Hello,
No, that is not the way tolerance works. Tolerance builds up once you take a medication for a long time (at least months) and it is just for that one medication, not for all pain medicines.
