What's your and your family's history of depression? Because depression and Bi-polar run throughout my family and I have also been depressed for long periods of time. When I first quit using Opiates (I believe Ultram is some type of synthetic opiate) I felt worse than ever, but eventually that went away. During this time period I was seeing a psychologist for weekly hour long sessions (This service is completely free on my College campus, so I took advantage of it), and while I felt REALLY bad for a while to the extent that I was suicidal at points, it eventually went away. Of course Opiates work as somewhat of an anti-depressent, but all they're doing is getting you high so its not a viable therapy for depression, and I don't believe it is considered as a treatment for depression by the medical community at large.

So I don't know, I didn't think I was going to ever be able to stop using H, but I have been able to do so, and now I've got about 3 months clean, and I'm no longer depressed.
