Tramadol aka Ultram and other names, is no where near the strenght of a lortab or Oxycontin. Lortab, percocets, Oxycontin, are all narcotic pain relievers. There is not one gram of narcotic in a tramadol. You could take a whole bottle of tramadol (not advised) and it would not equal anywhere close to the same strength, feeling, or relief of a lortab or any of the other narcotic pain relievers.
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.
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.
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.
