I do know that some forward thinking pdocs, have used ultram in such cases. It's an opiate derivative, which doesn't cause the euphoria that other opiates do and has a very low chance of addiction. They have been looking into other drugs, which act in a similar fashion. I'm not talking about heroin or other highly addictive opiates. However, I was curious if such a drug, which were used solely for the sake of treatment, would be beneficial. Especially, since they have such a marked improvement on bipolar as whole.
Many of us take benzodiazepines, which are just as a addictive (even more so than ultram), because the benefits outweigh the potential side effects.
Anyway, I was just curious. The 'Opiate Cure' was an interesting read, which posed a lot of questions. I wouldn't recommend self-medicating oneself. However, if I were prescribed it due to the fact it was a much more effective alternative to the other meds, which have their own serous side-effects, I may give it a shot.
