> I didn't take it to get "high", I took it to feel normal. There is a big difference there and I think alot of people are dubbed "addicts" when really they are self medicating with other substances (just my opinion) to feel the norm.
Well, a lot of people start out self-medicating and then *become* addicted because they don't have a doctor to monitor their use. Unfortunately, most doctors won't prescribe Ultram for depression, OCD, etc., so people who need it have no choice but to self-medicate (either by getting "grey market" Ultram, or by getting much harder drugs on the black market).
