While this combo might be working out for you, that's a very high dose of Tramadol to take while also on an NRI or SRI. I'd say be awfully cautious--you're risking seizures and serotonin syndrome.
I take up to 100mg of Tramadol with Lexapro. I have taken higher doses but didn't notice a significant difference in my mood.

If you're no longer on an AD, you can safely take more than 225mg of Tramadol, though I really wouldn't go higher, anyway. Tramadol becomes problematic at high doses and when used with ADs, which is why it's best to keep the dose low.
I can't say I notice weight loss with Tramadol, but it could be tempering weight gain from my other psych meds.
