depression
"I was prescribed the drug after Knee surgery, worked well with the pain but like most people this lifted my mood and productivity to new levels. Had suffered mild untreated depression for many years as I thought 'I was just feeling sorry for myself'. Just before my surgery I lost my best friend which hit me hard, dropped me to new lows. Along with relationship and work problems I was rock bottom. Had surgery and the tramadol came, picked me up, my business and my mood. 8 month later my prescription was stopped, my depression is back, my relationship ended and I'm worse than ever. I'm suicidal, restless, agitated and faitgued. Lost interest in sex life and work. Its magic for depression but will be twice as bad if/when you stop. Be careful."
