Tramadol is Schedule IV. Morphine, Hydrocodone, Oxycodone, etc are Schedule II.

Schedule IV can be called in. A doctor can give up to five refills on each prescription.

Schedule II cannot be called in. A doctor cannot give refills on a prescription.

Go to rehab. Some people get psychologically addicted to non-steroidals and acetaminophen.

Yes, Tramadol can cause withdrawal symptoms, but not anywhere near as bad as Hydrocodone or Oxycontin. However, the withdrawal from Tramadol seems to last much longer, months even. But as I said, not really that bad. I found it to be a good step down drug from other opiates, even if switched suddenly like I was. I suffered from severe back pain for more than twenty years until I found a doctor that took me off my on and off dependency on Hydrocodone. I know what withdrawal is like. He prescribed the Tramadol along with Prednisone (a steroid) and gradually weened me of both. I experienced almost no withdrawal symptoms. My back now only gives me occasional problems and when it does, Naproxen and or Tylenol will cure the pain.
