depression
"Antidepressants have had no effect on my depression in the past. I was unable to find the motivation to support my family or even go to work which caused me to lose my job. I started tramadol for a back injury as it is a non-habit forming pain reliever. It changed my life. immediately, it wiped out the depression. 100% gone. It is not much of a pain reliever, it is not very strong and I still am in pain. I can deal with it though and the lack of depression is worth it. The only downside is that when it wears off the depression comes right back, fast. So I have to take it throughout the day. I am back to work and enjoying life, i just take 3 or 4 pills per day. I don't know why this drug is not marketed as an antidepressant, it should be."
