sorry to hear the tramadol is not doing it for you. i have to admit that i had my doubts since your depression seems to be part of a larger packet of problems. i think tramadol does the trick mainly for people who have depression as their primary problem. also, i think that people who have experienced relief from depression when taking opiod painkillers like vicodin or percodan are the ones most likely to have success with ultram.
as far as tapering off tramadol, i'd take one less per day until you're off. if you feel like you may be going through withdrawal, try taking one less every two days.
if anyone in the group has a more educated recommendation for getting off tramadol, please feel free to chime in. i only know what i have experienced personally and i realize that different people react in different ways.
