Hi all, just a quick update on my Tramadol and Amitryptilene, have been using them for two weeks now. I don't know what the Amytryp supposed to do, i was told it was used more for pain relief nowadays, than depression.. but hey! if it does anything either way it will be a help! Amitryp is only 10mg though, which seems pretty low dosage? Anyone on higher mg??
The Tramadol at first made me very dizzy (after taking two) and very "spaced put" which focused my mind on that strange feeling , rather than the pain (Clever, huh)? the second time i took them i was at work, and i felt very weird and fuzzy headed. Having said all that, they have dulled the pain, from very sharp (especially after BM) to just about bearable. I am taking 6 a day on average, my biggest worry is the constipation side effect. I hate takin laxatives, i eat loads of bran, fibre and fruit, but its still very hard to gao, and yes, i do strain, in desperation to get it out (sorry to be graphic), then i immediately take tramadol cos i know the pain will be searing. Only other side effect i have with tramadol is very dry mouth.
I have an appointment to see CRS on 29th nov, i try to hold it together but as soon as i get to talk to a "proffessional" i sort of fall to pieces and because of this i feel thay think im being dramatic, but its so bloody exhausting going through it all again, especially if its someone new.
Love to you all, speak again soon x[/b]
