Flushed, Do you think you were depressed before you started taking Tramadol? You said you were taking Lexapro and that is helping you so I was wondering if possibly you were substituting Tramadol for an anti-depressant.

I ask because I am 2 weeks clean of ultracet and physically am fine. My problem is that around 2 pm each day, I feel as if I won't be able to make it thru the rest of the day without taking something. I have read of the depression that follows the withdrawal but I don't feel depressed....I just don't feel happy (and it hits me around the same time every day). I get very jittery and have problems focusing on anything (even the TV). I'm very confused about what I should do. I don't know if I should see a doctor to obtain an anti-depressant or if what I am feeling is just normal for someone who has been taking this medication for 1 1/2 years.

Does anyone have any experience in this area they can share with me?
