Gena,
I was also on both neurotin and ultram for a while... I didn't quite do
the trick for me, althoughthe ultram seemed to take a sllight edge
off...I have to warn you though, it's very easy to become dependant on
the ultram if you take it every day. I just recently went off of it and
had nasty withdrawls. It only lasted a few days tho, and if it's
helping you then more power to you, but it's good to hear it's working
for you! I'd never heard of anyone else taking those medicines.
good luck to you
