"i can&#039;t believe the difference tramadol has made in lifting my mood.  i began tramadol for body aches and realized the mood elevation that accompanied it.  i take 3 50 mg tablets per day and have had no need to increase the amount.  i feel motivated and have energy probably the way most non depressed people do.  i used to abuse alcohol and smoke excessively, but now have absolutely no desire to self-destruct.  i am more successful and productive in my career and i believe this pill has given me my life back."
