If I were you I would try and see if the pregabalin could mask the withdrawals. Works great for when I take kratom breaks but never gotten dependent to tramadol even tho I also have an unlimited supply

They should act almost the same on glutamate yet, one is excitatory (glutamic acid) and the other calming? (Glutamine)

I took it when needed, 50mg first thing in the morning. Had a difficult time sleeping if I took it consecutive days. It got me through a long work day or times when I had other obligations. I stopped taking it a few years ago due to worsening anxiety.

Waay less side effects, feels smoother and lasts longer - for me anyway.
