Could a person become addicted to ultram even though it is not a narcotic? I may have a reason to believe that my boyfriend has developed addiction on this drug. He has been using it for pain relief when he had a skiing accident, and is still using it and always has some pills with him. What should I do?

Wow girl, you have a tough call. I haven’t mentioned for how long has your boyfriend been on the drug and you are still not sure if he is addicted or not! Once you have determined he is addicted, you have to make him realize he is addicted and then you have to make him go see help. Addiction can’t be treated just by strong will, bc a long use of some drugs changes the way the brain functions. If your boyfriend is addicted to ultram, I would suggest professional counseling for both of you, because you have to know what you are doing. I wish you good luck!!!!

Utram, Tramal, Tramadol HCI or whatever the name is on that part of earth you are located,,, tramadol has the same or even more potential for addiction than codeine,,, eventhough in the US it is not classified as a narcotic, it is a synthetic opioid , which affects the same parts of the brain than a regular opioid does like codeine, vicodin or whatever....
Tramadol offers the same high as vicodin and other narcs,, but it lasts a lot longer than those,,, and it is very addictive
I was not aware you needed a prescription in the US to buy,,, where I am from,,, you can even get it on gas stations,,, or super markets... |

| My wife has been on Tramadol for 13 years now and takes 5 or 6 50mg pills 3 times a day. She "says" it's for pain and bowel control. How do I find out for sure, either way. The Dr's will take her off it , and according to her, she dropped to 85 lbs ( she's 5' 8 ) until some Dr said ok. Gave her her Tramadol and away she goes. Recently had major surgery and cant get it from her DR's like she is used to. Spending tons online. Should I try to find an alternate for her? She wont on her own. |
