Re: tramadol for depression

I just wanted to share my thoughts on tramadol for depression. I used tramadol on and off for 3 years, initially for minor back pain.

Tramadol is indeed addictive. It's considered less habit forming than normal opiates, I think that's due to tramadol inducing less euphoria than normal opiates. I know from personal experience that tolerance builds just as fast as other opiates and you will get serious withdrawal symptoms from abrupt cessasion. I've withdrawn from both oxycodone and tramadol, with oxy I experienced more physical withdrawal symptoms(ie. nausea, fatigue, etc.), but the tramadol sets off a depression that lasts months.

It works for depression, but any drug that is euphoric eliminates depression. I read somewhere Tramadol is known to be a serotonin reuptake inhibitor.

I'm not saying this to talk anyone out of trying it, just wanted to share my experience with it.
