Thanks for posting about this, Mikka. I know so many other's who have had the exact same experience. There is really no mystery as to why TRAM performs like a wonder drug. Part synthetic opioid, part AD. When the DEA threw them onto the schedule (as a "4") in August of 2014, you could see the writing on the wall. They knew how often they were being prescribed off-label for depression and anxiety. They tried to curtail that, by scheduling them, before it got out of hand. Now come the new opioid laws, which will force many doctor's to look for alternative's to schedule-2 opioid's. It's already begun. TRAM use is up in hospital's, now being given post-op in place of conventional opioid's that are higher up the schedule. Coincidence? I think not. Let's hope that trend continues and that we will see office doc's having the guts to write for them! Regards, Rafterman
