>Thanks so much for pointing the thread out, I just posted to it,
You're welcome, yes, I saw your post. If I see anything more, I'll send it your way.
>so one way or another I end up obsessively spending entire days or weeks here once I start looking at whole boards. :(
>OMGosh! Tell me about it! It must be the ADD, I do the same thing!
> Aaaah, there you go. I am entirely self-pay :(OMGosh, I don't know how you do it! We have 4 of us on meds, and 3 in counseling, and 5 seeing the p-doc. There's no way we could do it if it was self pay!
> Ha ha, I give myself and my guilty conscience away all over the place. After posting I realized you hadn't even been ASKING whether I was doing this on my own, and probably realized I was! You only asked if any docs give me grief about it. ;-)That's okay, interesting to know you're going solo.

> My nature is to tell all too, but this time I compromised on how I delivered the info (saying I noticed other beneficial responses when taking tram for pain),I can certainly understand the thinking that you have to watch what you say. I agree that most of the time you really do. When they don't know you, what are they to think if we come out with everything. I don't know why I told this doc everything. I don't even remember why it came up.
and it's probably irrelevant anyway, because my new pdoc will be taking me down enough meds roads that I might drain myself looking into, with tram never even being one of them. Even if I could find enough evidence to start swaying even him, I'd probably also want to have found that other docs really are starting to prescribe it this way too. (But I dread it ever getting scheduled, because if I don't find anything else that works as well and with as few side effects, I probably will always feel comfortable continuing it at the dose I use.)Well, let's hope if you bring it up just every once in awhile that he'll get interested and look into himself.

> I'm also afraid to post too much about it because I'm probably not up to the types of debates that can result --Ah, just blow 'em off. It's just an opinion, and you're certainly entitled to yours!
> I sent a babblemail yesterday to a former regular poster who seemed to know more than anyone I've ever "met" does about tramadol, to ask my question about whether my low dose could have affected the Strattera outcome. But don't know if I'll hear back.
Are they still active? Look 'em up on the google search by "poster: "

> When it comes to those type drugs I've only used them occasionally for sleep; I can't imagine finding the way they make me feel helpful, during waking hours. Maybe in combo with something else, don't know, but not alone anyway.Yep, it would sure put me to sleep!
Later!
