Hi! Not to discourage you from trying, everyone is diferrent, but I have tried Darvon and Tramadol on and off for years and found only a fleeting benefit. I would also build up tolerance to the dosage very quickly. Personally, I think it works best if added to a lower dosage of a SSRI. Just my personal experimentations. The great things about them though is the lack of side effects for me. I didn't find them the least sedating, even at high doses, and except for a very mild feeling of dissociation, I felt pretty good.
