I wondered if Suboxone was useful for long term Ultram abuse withdrawal.

ga is right most doctors will not prcribe sub for tram addiction we have had a few members find a doctor to do it but its few and far between.Tapering is by far the best way to get off tram as ga said .You can do it .How much are you taking how long have you been on it .

Possibly but not probably. Buprenorphine would work on the opiate side of things, but not on the antidepressant properties of Tramadol. Plus, most doctors don't recognize the abuse potential of Tramadol. I believe most every doctor would suggest a Tramadol taper over a Suboxone detox.
