I don't' like to mix trams with anything . Always better to be safe than sorry. Well, I guess I DO take my nighttime benzo. I don't overdo it, though. Just 1-2 mg clonazepam or an equivalent of another benzo. I love tramadol but always stay under 350mg. I've never had a problem with that not being enough to 'feel good'. It lasts a pretty long time, too. It's especially great when the AWESOME stash runs out.
