I have been mildly depressed all of my life but especially in the last 8 years or so the depression has got steadily worse to the point where I was becoming teary eyed at the drop of a hat especially when watching sad films or even overly happy ones for that matter I had all the typical symptoms but the constant tears were getting scary

However what I have found is that since I started taking Tramadol my depression has completely cleared up Its amazing how my mood has changed to the point I have stopped worrying a lot about PN. Actually nothing bothers me much anymore
Apparently a desirable side effect is that it is indeed an antidepressant and probably why its hard to ween off.

Anyway just thought I would share
