Tramadol Schedule 4 Now

I can't believe that tramadol got bumped to schedule 4. It use to be over the counter and I took one a day and was pain free. I took them 5 days a week all summer with no withdrawals of any kind on the weekends or after 5 months of treatment. Now the doctors act like your asking for illicit drugs if you mention tramadol. Guess they made no money with an over the counter med that actually worked so they got it bumped to class 4. Aspirin is worse on the body and doesn't help pain.

I am not sure if you are thinking of the correct medication, while it has been reclassified several times, Tramadol has never been available over the counter in the U.S.

The FDA currently classifies it as an opioid and warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming, it could also cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth.

Do you take any other medications?
