Actually, I take the Ultram more for mood effects that for pain--I get it from my GP. It has drastic mood elevation properties for me... More so than vicodin and oxycodone for some reason. It really doenst help my back pain and migraines to any appreciable extent. It is the only thing that has some effect on my depression and anxiety. I am losing its effects though. I guess Its pooping out.
I think it helps my depression some because I must be a slow metabolizer and am probally accumlating it's metabolite M1,ithits the opiod mu receptors. That's all I can figure.
My Psych thinksI have opiod responsivedepression ashe calls it and has recommeded bupherone (sp) however, she hereself wont Rx me an opiod. So it does me no good at all because I cant get it.
I know it sounds cliche and people say it a lot when they say, "opiods make me normal" not high. Well I dont usually buy that but I can say that since Ultram isnt a classical Opiod and is supposed to have less abuse and technically no abuse potentional and I respond to it better than stronger ones, that truley there is something else going on.I was hoping to augment it with Nardil but this doesnt seem to be a really good idea. And in fact appears deadly! I am a little upset because I wanted to try Nardil to treat my house-bound social phobia and a set of other mental issues that keep me from having even a glimce at a ''normal'' life.
