Oh this article is bull*shit*. Patients are more likely to continue using tramadol _precisely_ because it's considered less problematic than other opioids -- it's not more habituating, it's that doctors are less reluctant to prescribe it for chronic pain.https://www.upi.com/Health_News/2019/05/14/Study-Tramadol-carries-higher-risk-for-prolonged-use-than-other-opioids/2021557861143/?sl=1 …

"...risk of additional opioid use relative to people receiving other short acting opioids (incidence rate ratio 95% confidence interval 1.00 to 1.13; risk difference 0.5 percentage points; P=0.049)..." That's right, P = 0.049! Very wow, so science.
