What Causes Persistent Pain In The Head Despite Taking Tramadol And Clonazepam?

yes i suffer from horiffic pain in back of my head along with depression i have taken different antidepresants over the years i was taking bupropion up until 2 years ago it seemed it just was not working anymore because of the bad head pain i started taking tramadol 50 mg three times a day with clonazepam 0.5 at night to help me sleep and i felt much better for a year and half then it started like it just not working as well so now my doctor and i decided to try get off the tramadol and go back to the bupropion . i read where the tramadol was not ment to take for long periods of time my concern is i wonder if the head pain is going to get worse i am going to try tapper off tramadol while tappering on the bupropion. one thing i have never been able to understand is could this be miggrain type head pain because i have never taken ant medication that has taken away the head pain they just seem to dull it.i just wanted to get someone else opinion plus i no it is going to be pure hell transitioning over again. thanks. my email is YYYY@YYYY sorry about the spelling i am not feeling very well right now
