I've been on many annti-depressants over my lifetime, but nothing I've tried works as good as tramadol. I find that even just one 50mg capsule per day keeps the blues away. It seems odd to me that just because it contains a minor synthetic opioid it's not prescribed for this purpose.
be very cAREFUL. law enforcement has been going after tram vendors for about a year or so.
In fact, if one used a place we did not carry, click remedy, one got a knock at their front door from the DEA with your package.
Tramadol is an anti depressive. I hear it helps with pain. But, whatever is going on with tram, maybe the dreaded tainted fent is snuck in it? But whatever is going on, trams are getting difficult to obtain.
One woman ordered thirty. She got jail time.
Another forum had so many knocks at their door by DEA they wont be ordering tram anytime soon.
It does help with pain i have heard. But that could be the anti depressant in it. LYrica is an anti depressant and they give it for diabetes pain for one. But, LE is pretty tough about tramadol, perhaps the countries it comes thru?
Be careful for me. And, one year ago, when the DEA was a-knocking to bring a case againt click remedy, so many people were traumatized by DEA at their front door that they posted at the forum that had the vendor posted: if you want to avoid the police, don't order drugs online.
I hear that testing kits are fairly cheap. Be safe and test them. And be so careful cuz trams can cause seizures. Once one has a seizure, one is prone to seizures forever. They lead to strokes and all sorts of fun.
I don't know what info the LE has to go so hard after tramadol. Just know they are after it. Stay safe.
Wow, thanks for that Charon. Sucks.
My father takes Tramadol for pain. It's about the only medication he will take. I take Sub0x()ne, so I don't know if I can take them at the same time. I have some laying around, but never thought that it could help with depression. I may bring this up with my Sub Dr. at our next visit.
Thanks for the info!
take care,
Andy
After spine surgery many years ago, I was given Tram for pain.
To my surprise, as a side effect it worked on my anxiety & depression like a dream.
I've tried many anti-depressants and nothing worked like this did.
It does not make me feel high or even feel euphoria. It just made
me feel "normal". So, this is what normal feels like. After suffering from depr/anxiety for decades,
this was much relief for me.
I've been on it for 10 years now for depression only and never abuse it. My tolerance
has gotten a little higher but if I take it like I should, I'm always good.
I just found out my regular doctor who prescribes them will no longer
give them out to me or anyone. HUGE crackdown on opiods here in my state. (even tho it's synthetic) They tell
me to go to a Pain Clinic but that involves constant testing, many visits often, short lived prescriptions. You can
easily be kicked out of the clinic program if you happen to have even a bit more
in your system than you should.
Frankly, I don't want to deal with that. I pray I can continue to get them other ways or I'm in
big trouble.

100% hear you and understand/agree Mikka.
Obviously I've been on this site for a long time for sleep-related issues, but I just started reading around on other subjects because of a family member who is being denied pain medicine. It's so disheartening. He is close to suicide because of the unmanaged pain. He's in his mid 70's. Does the opioid crisis really apply to someone like him? Isn't he exactly the sort of case where opioids are appropriate?
One would think so. And yes, he used to be in that class.
But NY went crazy yrs ago. The chronically ill cannot be treated for pain by regular doctors. and when i called when i got disability. permanent. no hope of recover eight yrs ago, i was told that disability would come to my apt. with methadone. but i had to agree to die in 30 days or three months or go cold turkey. it was a big scandal in NY. many elderly and sick misunderstood i am sure. took the med then had to go off it cuz they were not ready to die.
withdrawal is awful i have heard.
my elder sister gave up practice of medicine as she ran hospitals and she could no longer treat her patients as she chose.
You may find a kindly older doctor with compassion. But they make people in other states go to pain clinics and take urine tests and wait on line for meds for even tylenol 4.
It is a crisis and no one seems to care about the current suffering. i have heard that it also happened to many at my sisters church. elderly and chronically ill. some with cancer. and doctors cut many off meds.
as i post often, it is the worst i have seen in 25 yrs of study, in both real life and online.
i am sorry. but look.
I’ve already learned something new, I didnt know this about trams. My 90 yo father who has multiple health problems including prostate cancer and congestive heart failure, etc. Tram is the only pain med his dr will prescribe, he doesn’t take it as prescribed but suffers with depression. Hopefully I can get him to take it regularly and it will help.
