apparently some shrinks have been using tramadol for OCD. I don't see why it isn't more popular; I mean, it isn't a controlled substance, it clearly has antidepressant qualities, and its off-patent so its cheaper than many other medications.
I bet if they made a once-daily "Ultram XR," charged lots of $$$ for it, and got an FDA approval for depression/anxiety/whatever, shrinks would rx it like crazy and pat themselves on the back for embracing an "innovative approach" to mental illness.B!tching aside: Ultram can be pretty awesome, although I hear tapering can be rough (like an Effexor taper+opiate taper...all in one).
