1. since treatment of RSD [reflex sympathetic dystrophy] is Pain Management, and because you are already on opioid pain management thus taking/changing this medicine with other drugs [new medicine coming to Australia], may/ can cause dangerous or life-threatening side effects, thus ask your doctor before taking/changing tapentadol with a narcotic pain medicine, muscle relaxer.
PS. Tell your health care provider about all medicines you use and any medicine you start or stop using, so that drug drug interaction can be managed or excluded
