In reply to Tramadol, Oleptro for depression/bp ETC., posted by uncouth on October 3, 2011, at 14:07:32
Oleptro/Trazodone is an OK option for treating depression, but requires high doses. I'm assuming you're bipolar, so I can make a few recommendations: Clomipramine, Amytriptaline, Lithium, Lamictal, Trileptal, Dextroamphetamine, Memantine. BP depression can be hard to treat. Tramadol is a weak SNRI and a NMDA antagonist. It might be a good choice for you.

ps. don't knock yourself for trying to self medicate...
