"like many of the reviewers here i discovered the benefits of the medicine for depression by accident. it had been prescribed for back pain after i hurt by back lifting a heavy bag out of the car trunk at the airport. yes, it helped in a with the back pain from 
the injury but it totally destroyed my depression immediately. it works in less than 1 hour and you will feel uplifted and hopeful .if you suffer from depression talk with your dr.  about tramadol. plain and simple...it works and works fast. no kidding this is a depression killer."
