Positive Tramadol Experience Plz?

Posted by Adam Gibb on June 19, 2013, at 3:54:15

Hi Everyone
I noticed most here talk about negative experienc with Medications as I'm sure the ones who have positive experience don't write here anymore and living their lives without worrying about others negative experiences.
I'd love to read positive experience regarding Tramadol for its powerful and fast anti-depreesant qualities
Thanks

Thanks Philioa. I hope this poster and others contribute more.
I also take Tramadol 225 with Venlafaxine 75 mg and it seems to be the best combination so far. Main side effect : sweating

I take 50-100mg of Tramadol daily with 20mg of Lexapro and Ativan (Ativan mainly at night for sleep/anxiety). While the Tramadol and Lexapro do not prevent depressive episodes, I've found that Tramadol works very quickly (within an hour usually) as a mood booster. It also helps with my neuropathic leg pain. I've taken it for over a year and have no significant side effects from it.

As I'm not I'm remission and have issues with anhedonia (and have never explored MAOIs), there is a distinct possibility that I'll try Nardil in the near future. If this is the case, I'll have to discontinue the Tramadol (and Lexapro, naturally).

Yes. I agree that Tramadol is the fastest acting Antidepressant and it has a consistent result

I stopped Efexor 75 and now I only take Tramadol 225 mg + 225 mg per day and it is an excellent treatment except for sweating and mild constipation
Why you wanna stop Trama?
I took before Trama with Parnate with no side effects

I'll only stop taking Tramadol if I decide to take Nardil; you can't take Tramadol safely with MAOIs.
