Pain Management vs Depression Management

Ultram is used in the management of moderate to moderately severe pain. Extended release tablets are used for moderate to moderately severe chronic pain in adults who require continuous treatment for an extended period.  Ultram supposedly acts like an opiate but is not a narcotic.

I had to stop taking my antidepressants in order to take this drug, since they don't mix.  I am severely depressed.  SEVERELY.  This is not good.  Don't they get it?  The thought of being without pain meds just frosts my balls.  *sigh* The thought of being without antidepressants just frosts my balls. 

Why do I have to choose? Surely among the friggin THOUSANDS of drugs there must be some pain pill I can take with my damned antidepressants.  I can't stop crying now as it is.  What's gonna happen to me when the antidepressant totally works its way out of my system?

Look at this photo and tell me I don't need a goddammed pain pill. The difference now is my drain holes have finally closed and are no longer leaking. And everything is just a little lighter in color, but still discolored - more in the brownish range. My boobs are friggin KILLIN me. Especially Lefty.  Poor Lefty--it'll never be the same. My entire chest is screamy sore... emphasis on the screamy.

I think I'll start calling around for a pain specialist.  Tomorrow.
