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 …

And there's a huge error -- tramadol isn't schedule II, it's schedule IV. Jesus this is irresponsible.

Been on this stuff for over a decade because it works for spinal pain and is MUCH less addictive than opioids as Tramadol is the result of removing the Codeine from Ultracet.

Ultracet = tramadol + acetaminophen. Tramadol is an opioid receptor agonist but has other activity (it hits a ton of other receptors) that also seems to contribute to pain relief.

Interesting. Well the stuff works for targeted spinal nerve pain. Without it I could not walk. No shit. I would just be laid up in bed 24 hours a day instead of being able to take care of my daughter. If not for tramadol I'd be on much stronger stuff.

I have something resembling restless leg syndrome except with wracking pain and nerve spasms, and it hits multiple times a day. It responds to RLS drugs but I can't handle their side effects.
