"i have treatment resistant major depression and as a result, i&#039;ve taken so many drugs over the years that i can&#039;t list them all. i got kidney stones a while back and got tramadol to help me with the pain. it didn&#039;t help much for that, but it sure helped treat my depression. i talked with my primary care doctor about this and she&#039;s reluctant to prescribe it if it isn&#039;t for pain. as the result, i&#039;m going to find a new doctor... one who knows a bit more about psychiatry."
