Ultram?

Hi everyone,

Is Ultram a narcotic? Does it have the same effect as other pain meds, in terms of the "high" feeling?  I weaned off Oxycontin recently, and don't want to go back to where I started.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Also how my addiction started.....My Doc explained why Ultram is so addictive.....The molecular makeup is almost the same as morphine. Don't ask why. My withdrawals and depression after ultram was far worse than me recently stopping cold turkey off Methadone 60 mgs a day. Good Luck.

Look at the post I just put up.  After reading everything I have on this drug and the personal experiences related to these drugs by the people here, I think I would have been better off taking the Vics and Darvocets.  Tramadol (generic of Ultam, Ultraset) is EVIL.

ultram is actually how my addiction started. I would say bad choice as well.

Here is a link to a page that will tell you everything about Ultram that you would ever want to know except that it IS addictive, although I believe it takes 2 months to develop an addiction.
