Tramadol (ultram) is excellent. I take it w/ Lexapro (w/o a problem).
Though an analgesic, it is also an snri, and works on glutamate receptors. It works within hours of taking it, and most (I certainly don't) get high or loopy from it. Also, you have a better chance of getting it prescribed for TRD than heavier painkillers--not to mention, the heavy duty pills such as Oxys, etc., undoubtedly cause dependence and frequent dosage increases. That's not the case with Tramadol.
Good luck,
