    Tramadol was touted as a safer opioid. But now it is at the root of an addiction crisis that spans from Africa to Asia to the Middle East.http://apne.ws/58DVEBX

        It’s a bit of a fire hose drug actually. While binding to mu-receptors it also has SNRI and SSRI action. Explains why it can have dependence as any other. Was recognized as such in my UK anesthesia training 25y ago. Why I raise an eyebrow when used as “opioid sparing” by some.

        Are people sure it isn't being used for pain? Pain you don't believe is real looks a lot like an opioid addiction.

        I currently take Tramadol. It's been a great medication for me. Much less side effects than opioids. However with the current whipped up hysteria, now this medication is being as heavily regulated as the others. Stop the offenders, not the patients or the medication.

        Yes it does. Maybe the pain you're treating with it is mental.

        Tramadol is garbage.

        Tramadol was what my mother used to get off of fentanyl patches that made her extremely sick while recovering from a severe motorcycle accident. The problem is addictive personalities, not the drug.
