question: Hello doctor, My 19-year-old son is suffering from major depression and has been on at least four different medications, ECT and Ketamine treatments. ECT and the Ketamine seem to show the best results so far but are short-lived. And I hate to keep shocking his brain if this is not going to work (He has completed 10 sessions now). All I have been doing is research on how to help him because I know his doctor has only one hour with him every two or three weeks where I am with him every day for hours. I ran across an article about using Tramadol to treat depression and I was wondering if taking this every day would produce the same (or near same) effects that the Ketamine treatments do but over a longer time? Right now he is on Cymbalta 90 mg, Rexulti 0.5 mg, Wellbutrin 150 mg, Hydroxyzine 50 mg (as needed), Clonazepam 0.5 mg (as needed).
