i cannot get away from side effects. I would keep taking tramadol but it makes me so freaking angry. SO ANGRY. Espically at the people I love. I just cant take it anymore. I mean i feel shear rage from the darkest realms of my soul. It hurts so much.
I dont want to take any other medicines that Ive tried already, they suck and all have stressful side effects.
I was thinking of strattera but that makes me anxious, makes my penis smaller, and.. I guess thats it. Maybe some acne.
I hate all antidepressants, they all cause weight gain and just smash my life into peices.
My soul hurts right now.
I hate paxil, lexepro, luvox, prozac, citalopram. I hate all the anti psychotics,
I like opioids but they cause tolerance (not tramamdol in my experience).
I respond good to pain medicines. I dont want to take vicodin or any of that junk, I want a long term thing. Vicodin obviously has massive tolerance.
I want an opioid with no tolerance.
The best I ever have done is on tramadol, and I cant take the anger anymore.

Hi Sam.
Have you ever had anger issues while not taking medications?
I guess the obvious question is whether or not you have tried the MAOIs Nardil or Parnate.
If you are satisfied with the antidepressant effect of tramadol, but are concerned only with the anger issues, perhaps adding a drug like Trileptal or Depakote would help. Both drugs are anticonvulsants. Trileptal seems to be particularly good at treating anger and hostility. Tegretol might be even better, but it has side effects that must be monitored frequently. Depakote would probably be the better choice if you are bipolar and are experiencing a mixed-state.
