Hi Victor,
Aside from the possibility of serotonin syndrome with the combination of venlafaxine (Effexor) and tramadol (Ultram), mania can also be induced by Ultram especially if combined with an antidepressant.
Ultram is a central nervous system (CNS) acting pain killer that activates the mu receptor and enhances the action of serotonin and norepinephrine by interference with their uptake and release mechanisms.
It has been suggested that Ultram may have antidepressant. If this is the case, Ultram could induce mania itself in a manner similar to that of antidepressants. Ultram may also be useful in the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Finally, a case of anorexia nervosa successfully treated with Ultram was recently reported.
