According to U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (Sept. '08 publication) tramadol is NOT a controlled substance. Is it in the state of Virginia?

Re: billb (# 6) 
It is a mu agonist and for those including many Doctors: Mu is an opioid receptor specifically linked to the action of painkillers. This was a trick done by Pharma to put it in a different class of drugs and hook people. I know a prominent Lawyer that got hooked on it and lost everything. It can cause seizures also.

Tramadol is NOT an opiate narcotic. And as of 2012, per the Code of Virginia, tramadol is NOT a controlled substance. I have a degree in pharmacy, and was a nationally certified pharmacy technician. I'm not someone taking a guess or repeating what so and so told me. Here's a link regarding the original enquiry: lis.virginia.gov/cgi-bin/legp604?000+cod+54.1-3452

Dr CB Says:
Vernon, "should be" and "is" are two separate issues. Tramadol is NOT a scheduled drug on the federal level (regulated by DEA). It is currently controlled (scheduled) in only 5 states.

Lawyer Says:
Tramadol is not a controlled substance in Virginia. In Jan 2010 legislation was proposed to make it a schedule IV controlled substance but the bill died in committee.

It is considered an Opiate Narcotic, so it should be considered a controlled substance all over the U.S.
