Didn't lithium lift your depression?
What is the highest dosage of Lamictal that you tried when combined with the 600 mg/day dosage of Trileptal?
Being a care giver is hugely stressful. God bless you.
Which antidepressants have you tried that have given you some degree of relief?
Which antidepressants have triggered mania?
Have you tried Abilify or Zyprexa?
You are right about tramadol. Besides being an opioid, it is also a mild SNRI. How does it work to relieve depression? I don't know. Perhaps it is the opioid part; perhaps the SNRI part; perhaps both. I'm not sure that I would recommend it at this juncture. There are a few people here who have reported their continued use of tramadol to relieve their depression for more than a few weeks, but not many.
Tramadol is chemically related to Effexor. What was your reaction to Effexor?
