>Anyway, I'm too afraid to try it. I am afraid that after it wears off I will suffer a rebound depression worse than where I started? Or some kind of hangover? I fear that once I take that first dose, that's it, I'm on it for a long time.
You take that risk pretty much with any antidepressant when if you think about it. At least you'll have had a few hours of relief if it does work and I find that alone can give me a sense of refreshment that lasts for some time. I didn't have rebound depression after one dose of tramadol. The comedown seemed gradual to me. That does make it tempting to take another dose of course but if you're prepared in advance for that happening it shouldn't be too much of a problem. I've found it easier to cope with the comedown if I go to bed and sleep it off.
The first time I tried it I was in withdrawal from clonazepam and tramadol made all my anxiety and depression fade away. I was functional again within an hour of taking it. Tramadol felt a bit like I what I imagine Ecstacy might feel like but milder and warmer. Everything in the world feels right and I'm completely at peace. It's a wonderful feeling but I was able to walk away from an 800mg a day habit without too much trouble.
I would take it at least once if I were you.
