Hello, Renae! How are you?

What you have to understand is that all the medications you've mentioned are in the same category, Tramadol is just a very mild opioid in comparison to the others.

Nucynta contains the active ingredient Tapentadol and it successfully helps many people with pain, however, the only way to see if it helps you is by trying it.

The FDA classifies this mediation as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Is there anything else I can help with?
