Experiences with Tramadol Augmentation?

Oh no! I’m so glad nothing horrible happened. The Tramadol helped my TN as well. But the augmentation happened over years of taking it and getting worse then my dr upping the dose then getting worse again and upping the dose. He thought it was my RLS getting worse. I’ve since that a lot of drs don’t really know a lot about RLS so I see a neurologist 2 hours away from me that specializes in it now. But I went from 100 mg once a day of the Tramadol to eventually taking 100mg 4 times a day. And it was still getting worse. Then thankfully I learned about augmentation with tramadol (Tramadol and dopamine meds are the 2 meds that code it) and after a couple of years finally found my neurologist. I did over the course of about 8 months manage to get down to 200mg of the Tramadol a day but I was miserable and having symptoms all the time. It was just enough to knock the edge off but I was still taking it so I was still experiencing the augmentation. So my neurologist turreted me down by 1/2 pill every 2 weeks and started me on 2.5 mg once a day of methadone. By then end of two months I was completely off the Tramadol and taking 5mg of the methadone a day. It’s been almost a year and I’m dining fantastic. No side effects. The augmentation is completely gone. The augmentation caused me to have RLS throughout my entire body 24/7. Now if I do it it’s very mild, only in my calves, and only lasts until I take my medicine then it’s gone. The methadone greatly helps my TN as well. I have had it once really bad since starting it.
