General & Family Physician 's  Response
Yes, there is a chance of drug interaction among tramadol, nortriptyline and Cymbalta. When tramadol is used along with these medicines, there is an increased chance of seizure (convulsion) and serotonin syndrome. Both are serious medical conditions requiring hospitalization.
Advice
1.     Continue nortriptyline, Cymbalta and Plaquenil as suggested by your doctor
2.     Stop tramadol
3.     Take ibuprofen or diclofenac sodium after meal for pain due to RA
