Gabapentin is actually a medication that can be used for Bi polar disorder and since depression is part of the mania it would not be logical to prescribe it if it did contribute to depression. As far as taking it in a cocktail w/ Tramadol for any spinal damage the answer is NO! Since everyone should have some type of health coverage, although spinal healthcare is also covered through government aid. Anyone truly suffering a debilitating spinal ailment, should have an MRI on their back w/ a referral from their PHP & available to take to a pain & spin specialist who will then be able to prescribe the appropriate medication on the initial visit. I assure you it will not be Tramadol especially once you inform him it does not work.

I've been taking tramadol and Neurontin together for severe PHN for 16 years now. This is a result from nerve damage due to shingles, which put me in hospital for 17 days before they could figure out what was wrong. I take 4800mg of the gabapentin and 150 mg of tramadol. So far, no adverse effects. It works for me. The pIn is still there, just manageable. Hope this helps!

Taking the Tramadol with the Gabapentin can cause an increase in depression of the central nervous system, so you should be careful to watch for any danger signs, such as shallow breathing, severe sedation and lowered heart rate.

How much of the Ibuprofen do you take?

Since you have high blood pressure, you also may want to discuss your use of it with your doctor, because taking high doses over a long period of time may cause elevated blood pressure and fluid retention.
