Actually, Ultram does have realy anti-depressant properties-other than it's opiate "feel good" effect. My doctor even showed me her physician's medication profile manual-it works on the neurotransmitters seritonin and norephenephrine-sort of like effexor. It's in all the medical journals, and everywhere online. Just look up Ultram and it's pharmacutical profile. But, I totally agree with you that if you are depressed to begin with and then start taking ultram for a while-you will for depressed than you ever have pre-ultram. To answer your question-yes, I do have a family hystory of depression/bi-polar disorder. My mother is a manic depressive, and my father was an alcoholic(a functional one-he was secretive about it, but everybody knew). I guess I was ripe for the picking when it comes the ultram-I had pain, depression, and a family history of substance abuse! Of course, I never would have taken it to begin with if the doctors would had
the knowledge that they have today about it's very addictive potential. I know it's a very unorthodox treatment-but, for now, it's better than the alternative-traditional anti-depressants-which did nothing for me and I tried them all. But, I read a great thread from tammy about a supplement that works with amino acids that looks very encouraging-supposedly, it works faster, and better than anti-depressants-without all the nasty side-effects. Thanks for your input. I'm glad you were able to be helped through therapy. It's encouraging to hear success stories from people who have been there. Take care of yourself, and stay well.
