No. Tramadol (trade names Ryzolt, Tramal, and Ultram) is an opioid, a synthetic drug similar in action to naturally derived opiates. The mechanism of opioids and opiates are essentially the same, they bind with opiate receptors in the body. The difference is in origin. Opioids are man made; opiates are derived from naturally occurring alkaloids such as opium poppy resins.
No, Tramadol does not contain morphine. But it does act in much the same way within the brain. It binds to the same receptors producing similar effects.
No, although it is very closely related to codeine in structure.
Tramadol is legally an opiutic analgisic, and it's mostly used to treat sever to moderate pains.
Tis NOT !!! It is completely synthetic, Has no Opium alkaloids in it @ all, Some people and doctors refer to it as an Opioid.
Yes. It is half opioid analgesic and half non-opioid analgesic.
Yes, Tramadol is considered an opiate, but a very weak one. It would show up in blood tests.
Yes, Tramadol is an opiate but a very weak one.
Tramadol is a semi-synthetic opiate.
No
No. Tramadol is not an opiate.
no
A narcotic, in the traditional sense, includes opiates and opioid medications. Tramadol is an opioid medication, so, yes, tramadol is a narcotic. It does not contain any other narcotic medications.
Tramadol is a synthetic opiate, albeit a minor one. Wellbutrin isn't - it's an anti-depressant.
Codeine, dihydrocodine (Vicodin), technically tramadol, and their combinations with Tylenol, aspirin, etc.
no!! and it is a very bad idea to mix..u can and will have a tonic clonic seizure
Neither of them do. Flexeril is cyclobenzaprine, a muscle relaxer, and Tramadol is a fully synthetic drug which acts like an opioid but is not actually an opiate/opioid. There is a big misconception that Tramadol will show positive on a drug test. Depending on what type of test is used, for example, a home test may show a false positive, whereas a lab test will show negative.
There are a long list of opiates, but here are a few popular ones: morphine hydrocodone oxycodone tramadol tizanidine codeine vicodin valium methadone fentanyl merperidine
In a sense. Suboxone contains opiates, and the test is for opiate drugs, not specifically for Suboxone. Tramadol is also an opiate, and so the test will be positive, as it is supposed to be.
The rules of opiates and suboxone don't count for tramadol because tramadol IS NOT a narcotic! Many people choose to believe it is, and if it works for you as a substitute for your regular opiate medication then go with it, but know it is relieving your opiate addiction only mentally, not physically.
Tramadol ALONE is NOT potentiated by grapefruit juice. Actually, quite the opposite is true. Since Tramadol is not technically an opiod and it works differently than other opiates, the way the liver processes it (and the result) is very different. Tramadol is broken down into O-desmethyltramadol by the cytochrome P450 isozyme CYP2B6, CYP2D6 and CYP3A4. O-desmethyltramadol is actually MORE POTENT than tramadol as far as Mu opiod activity, and thus, you WANT the liver to be converting Tramadol into O-desmethyltramadol. So grapefruit juice actually inhibits tramadol's effectiveness.
I had been addicted to opiates for a few years. I went to treatment and a halfway house in 2000, got clean and stayed clean for 5+ yrs. It was the best time of my life. I started having alot of pain in my joints....found out I had rhumatoid arthritis. Started seeing a rheumatologist..made sure to tell all doctors that I COULD NOT take anything narcotic. They suggested tramadol. I started taking tramadol. next thing I knew, I was abusing my tramadol..taking up to 20 a day and very addicted to them. I've struggled with getting clean again now for 3 years and have gone on to abuse other opiates again. I would not suggest that anyone who has ever been addicted to pain meds to take tramadol.
