I don't know you so I hope I get some of this right. You are currently on vicodin, dexedrine, and...pristiq as per phillipa's post?
Dex plus tramadol sounds great to me. I've experience with both, not together.
Here's what I have: I'm on 50mg Pristiq, tried to discontinue with scary sides. I recently read that pdocs "may" be using tramadol as an augment for trd. It worked on mood and pain for me (long time ago). It was only prescribed for pain, otherwise I'd still be taking it.
Let me know if dex and tramadol become an option, I'll be 2nd in line. Good luck!

PS-sorry, know nothing about the siezure threshold...which was your question.
