Hi,

Does anyone know about long term daily use of Oxycodone and Tramadol, also with Pregabalin.

Does the effects of these dwindle with use over time?

What are the chances of addiction and can I reduce or stop taking some of these safely to see if I can do without them. Particularly Pregabalin.

I would love to know please.

Thanks to anyone responding.

    Hey pain, not sure about the Pregabelin but the others are low doses so i wouldn't worry. If you want to do without, try missing a day and see how you feel. Keep us posted mate, good luck.

    Hi how long have you been on these, I take pregabalin 150mg 3 times a day, oxycodone 1 tablet 4 times a day and tramadol 2 tablets every four hours doctor also gave me amitritaline excuse the spelling but they knocked me out completely so have stopped taking these, I think you get used to the effects, but if you stop them I think you would notice, I don't want to be a zombie so fed up of not being in control of my head, that I stopped all of the tablets soon realised I needed them to control my pain, help this helps

    good luck
