It looks like Effexor XR is off the table, leaving only Tramadol and/or Remeron.
I took Effexor XR for only 2 days (37.5mg per day) and it HEAVILY blocked my pain meds at one point I took 2.5X my dose to get pain relief and feel it actually kicking in. It was like that all day on day 1 on Effexor XR, and even worse on day 2. I stopped it.
So my question is this: does TRAMADOL (being also an SNRI) have any interference with hydro/oxy? Like in metabolism do they use the same liver enzymes? I heard Tramadol is very similar to Effexor ER in nature so that concerns me... But I don't recall Tramadol completely blocking my other pain meds in the past, but it's been so long I don't know. Anyone know or have person experience? I assume Tramadol being a very mild on the mu receptor should only increase its effects if anything? But I dunno could be wrong.
That means Tramadol and Remeron seems like the best option, I just hope Remeron doesn't block the hydro like
Prozac and Effexor did...
