I’m just wondering if anyone has used tramadol for depression or anxiety?
I’m fully aware it’s an addictive opiate based painkiller.
I’ve been taking it for severe pain for a number of weeks and I’ve had an unexpected side effect. My long term depression and anxiety has really lifted.
I’ve tried countless antidepressants over the years and nothing has had a huge impact.
To try and prove a point I came off it last week and, ignoring the increase in pain, my mood plummeted. I’m back on it now and I’m feeling better again. Not cured or even back to normal (whatever that is) but I can function.
Has anyone else found this? Or even use it as an off label use for depression?
