What anecdotal reports are available at remedyfind.com and other google searches sure make tramadol sound like THE antidepressant to beat all antidepressnts. I did read a couple people's experiences where their tolerance got so high that they were taking doses high enough to kill a normal person just to avoid withdrawals and continue to feel normal. One person got worse after 4 months on it. But other than that, it looks like maybe 85%-90% of treatment-resistent people who try do fantastic even over the longterm. And instead of the 2 to 6 weeks wait, it kicks in between 2 hours and 2 days. Side effects are apparently much tamer than antidepressants. Sounds too good to be true. Probably is.
Just wondering if anyone here has any bad or good tramadol experience. I am aware of the addiction tolerance withdrawal stuff involved with it. The way I see it, effexor or zyprexa or xanax aren't much different in that regard.
