Opiods are by far the most effective drug I have ever used for treating the obsessive side of OCD... but I have always found that the effect wears off when the drug wears off. No long term benefit. Opiods make me feel absolutely wonderful, no depression, much less OCD, much less anxiety, etc. The opiod high is a high without an equal. But alas, they only make things worse for me in the end.
Anyway... as for Ultram, some of its AD effects may come from serotonin/norepinephrine reuptake inhibition, but I'd say the majority come from stiumulation of mu-opiod receptors. People are fooling themselves if they don't believe this to be true. Ultram is very much a narcotic, due mostly to its signifigantly active metabolite.
