Absolutely agree. I found my depression and pain reasonably well controlled with tramadol. It's a mild drug that allowed me to go about my life and never once needed to up the dose over 5 years. That is until doctors refused to prescribe it anymore. Then I had to seek out an alternative, which, due to my particular locale, lack of good insurance, etc. turned out to be a much less effective and more harmful drug...suboxone. Thanks US Govt and all you snooping ninnies who made tramadol into a scheduled substance.
