I have access to most every major medical journal there is via the Internet, with full-text to everything published within the last 10-15 years. I did a search of studies which claim to prove Tramadol is an effective treatment for Depression. I found only two studies--both of them extremely inconclusive...

Wow, with evidence like this, Tramadol is going to be the next Prozac (I'm being sarcastic)!
