Tramadol Classification (Page 4) (Top voted first)

Is Tramadol a controlled substance, or is there any type of narcotic in them? I would really appreciate any reply. I would like to know ASAP if possible. It has been subscribed to my 16 year old son and I would like to know about the drug as soon as I can. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much! Hope to hear from someone real soon. Thanks again!

Get away from tramadol if you can. You will build A tolerance quickly. It does help with pain but only blocks it. I finally got off after 3 yrs with gabapentin aka Horizant and the use of mild lorazepams for the heart rate withdrawal affects. Tramadol def should only be taken twice a day and wean off!!! I had depression, sweats, heart rate increasing out of nowhere, and honestly it's worse than being addicted to illegal drugs! Seek other methods if you can. It also causes constipation, urination problems and again dependency even taken as prescribed. In SC they just put it as a narcotic and selling on the streets like any other opiate. I'm now in pain management and had injections for my back. I have RLS legs and arms which gabapentin helps. Hope this helps!

My husband who is 63 y/o has been taking tramadol 50mg tid, and has outbursts of anger and mood swings which seems to be getting worse to the point I have had to leave three times while visiting him for a few days. He lives and works in Michigan, and I live in further south. Recently he was diagnosed with kidney stone, and as a result of pain, rages worsen. He was given more pain medication and I am afraid he will also become addicted to as well. I am fearful of him, as earlier while attempting to board plane for a visit to me, he said he was stopped by security for carrying a weapon, which was confiscated and he allowed to board. Upon his arrival, he was very hostile towards me complaining that I didn't look up to see him walk past me, etc. It was awful. We are in process of purchasing a home but due to him unpredictable behavior, I don't think is a good idea. I feel safety is first. He refuses to blame me for whatever he does or days or noise even when there is no noise. The comments about tramadol impacting personality is so correct in this case and explains exactly my experience. I want to write a letter to his Dr and request for safety sake, put him into detox or wean him off. He does have a history of drug and alcohol abuse.

Re: ljenn (# 33)

No it does not show up in lab work. I have been on tramadol for about 15 years. I have RA and Fibromyalgia. I have had to take tests for clonazepam. I take for anxiety and insomnia. My doctor told me that they are supposedly working on it but as of 2020 they couldn't detect Tramadol. It helps some with my arthritis but I have never taken more than 3 in a day. Never felt inebriated or sleepy or drunk feeling. I saw that some people commented that there is a big difference between addiction and dependence on a drug. I don't care if I am dependent on a drug. If it helps me to live my life with little pain, I will take that!

Hi, JW hit the nail on the head .
( ultram/tramadol does have a narcotic base but it is so small it is barely noticeable. )
It is NOT considered a controlled substance.
Mej, I also have RSD in my hands and feet- Email me so we can chat about our similarities. I have a compounded cream that works great, So, you do not have to take as many pain meds. ( unless you flair up ). I got off of 5 VICODIN a day to 5 a month. ( They work better too !) Yea !
Would like to hear from you Mej, DI too !
I also have a great chat site for RSD/CRPS, Doctors are on there too !! My Email is::[email protected].

Good luck with the Tramadol
Regarding JenJen.Its hould be fine for your 12 yr old. SHORT TERM.
If you have any second thoughts on her taking it. Ask your doctor for TYLENOL 4's. Very weak but great for kids.
Bye...:)

Tramadol can be addicting. I was addicted to it for 2 years. In order to get off of them I had to go to rehab for it. I couldnt get off of it myself. My withdrawls were horrible trying to do it myself. So Please if you are going to give it to your 16 year old, make sure you are giving it to him! Dont let him take it on his own. Even though study say that it is a non-narcotic and some study say it is. It is a very addicting drug. I mean come on you feel good on it.

as for Tramadol it saps people who are on the drug`s energy and the listlessness makes them not even think about withdrawing from the drug.
Is there kind of home detox which may work on this patients?

tramadol/ultram is a non-narcotic, non-addictive medication that is used in the weaning process of patients on narcoti/anelgesic medications. best bet ask your doctor

IT IS NOT CLASSIFIED AS A NARCOTIC BUT IT MOST DEFINITELY IS. DOCTORS STILL HAVE YET TO CATCH UP AND REALIZE THAT THIS STUFF IS A SERIOUS OPIATE THAT IS MORE ADDICTIVE THEN VALIUM AND/OR VICODIN. I KNOW BECAUSE I GOT ADDICTED TO ULTRAM AND WAS ADDICTED FOR 3 YEARS. THAT STUFF GAVE ME SUCH A FALSE SENSE OF HAPPINESS THAT IT IS INCREDIBLE. LIKE I SAID, DOCTORS NEED TO CATCH UP TO THE TIMES AND DO MORE RESEARCH ON THIS STUFF.

Ortho Doctor...you are very correct that Ultram is highly addictive for some folks;HOWEVER, you are INCORRECT about it being a controlled substance. As a pharmacist I can tell you that it is NOT a controlled substance.

I was recently given Tramadol and was surprised by all the labels on the bottle for a non-narcotic medication. Supposedly it is NOT a narcotic medication. I asked my friend if she's ever heard of it and she said she gave it to her 12 year old daughter for a full year with no side effects.
