Tramadol

[TS8777]

I am only posting this because tramadol is not actually a narcotic( so they say) they are actually on the verge of making it a controlled substance. I was on a bicycle and was hit by a car and I stressed to them not to give me any narcotics because I was scared of being addicted again after I had defeated that demon. We'll let me tell you they don't get you as high as like a lortab or Percocet or oxy, but boy oh boy the withdrawals are just as bad or worse. So don't ever let a doctor tell you different. I was pissed!!!!!! Needless to say

yes it is.

Effective August 18, 2014, tramadol will be classified as a Schedule IV drug, according to a rule recently published by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA).

Tramadol is now  actually a schedule 4 controlled substance, Hydrocodone combination products were just recently changed from a sch 3 to 2.

But that does diminish the fact that it's a very nasty drug, with horrible withdrawals.

My understanding is the Tramadol is currently a controlled substance on the same schedule as Vicoden, Norco, etc.  Probably because so many have become addicted to it, and yes I understand the withdrawals are long and horrid.

From what I have read you are right!!!  My Doc tried a few times to put me on it but I always refused (cause I wanted the buzz).  Now I am so glad that I refused after reading about the withdrawals from it!!!  Those crazy Doctors!!!  Its good you are pissed! Will help you not take another one!!!  Keep hanging in there!!!

I agree with you 100%. Detoxing from tramadol was horrific to say the least. Like TS said, don't let a dr tell ya different.
