Medicine question (Tramadol)
I was given a prescription for Tramadol and it was working to get rid of my joint and back pain as well as my depression. I was taking 50mg a day but it seemed to stop working so I started taking 2 pills a day instead of 1. I've been doing that for a while but it's starting to not work again. It happens with all my medicine - works for a while, then my body adapts to it. Should I up my dose again or what should I do? (btw, I would go to a doctor and ask my question, but I'm currently poor and my insurance ran out, so please don't give me that obvious answer of "ask your doctor") thank you!
Also, here is additional info that I was asked last time I potsed this question:
My bmi is 27.
I also exercise. I either walk 2 miles everyday, do yoga, or ride 3 miles on the elliptical. The doctor I went to didn't know what I have so he issued me pain medication. Again, I can't go back to the doctor because I don't have insurance.
