I've done codeine and tramadol on and off for many years. Been off for as long as a year. They are rapidly working ad's for me. Mood and motivation are better. Problem is I build a rapid tolerance to the drugs and become anxious and apathetic between doses. Problem is I could never find such an overall effective monotherapy that comes close to opiates. Overall I would recommend not even starting any type chemotherapy unless the suffering is intolerable and you can find no other way out, even then, to take them at as low a dose as possible and only to get you through the crisis. They seem to create more problems than they solve when taken daily long-term. I've had many strange illnesses that have resolved since I quit taking antidepressants. Many times I've been dismayed to find the prescribed drugs were actually making me worse and that I've been better without them. Opiates have been the most effective with the least side effects, and the easiest to quit. Despite all of this, once you've had a taste of how good psych drugs can make you feel it's hard to quit searching for a newer, better treatment. Sort of a pandora's box so to speak.
