anxiety
"Doctor prescribed as an alternative to narcotics for pain from herniated disk in neck. Doesn't eliminate pain, but makes it tolerable. Best thing is I am not in some narcotic fog and life can continue. I was also taking lexapro for some general anxiety.  Lexapro and Tramadol are not recommended together so with Dr. we decided to eliminate Lexapro. I was never a fan due to weight gain and if I missed a dose at night I would have uncomfortable sweating and head zingers. It wasn't fun for the first week without Lexapro due to withdrawal! Didn't expect the nausea, sweats, feeling of extreme heat, head fog...feeling much more balanced and steady, and reduced pain with just Tramadol!"
