The withdrawal from this med is seriously bad.. and you don't want to end up with another addiction. Please don't even start taking this drug, it's a mistake.
tramadol is a synthetic opiate.
Semi synthetic are Herion, Oxycontin, codeine, pithidene, etc
non synthetic is opium straight from the poppy.
In laymen terms a 'semi syntheitc' means they've taken the part of the opium that gets you going and added some extras.
The synthetic opiates are completely man man in a lab. Often from petrochemicla products.
Hi,
Tramdol is a synthetic opiate and also has SNRI properties. The withdrawal from Trams can be daunting because of typical and a-typical withdrawals. It's a double whammy in that regards (believe me since I'm on day 17 of Tram detox). The acute phase of the WD's weren't as bad as I'd experienced during Methadone withdrawal but they were no walk in the park. The worst part for me is the PAWS (post acute withdrawal syndrome) which is what happens once the worst of the acute withdrawal sickness is over. I've read a number of articles and medical reviews on this and much of it can be attributed to the 9 or so chemicals this drug interacts with in the brain. It's much more complex then medical professionals originally thought but the human body/brain is a remarkable machine and it will fix the damage these drugs have caused. Hope this answers your question. If you're worried about whether or not it comes up in a drug screen, most likely NO. That's because most drug screens don't screen for Tramadol, Ultram, Ultracet etc.
I just did a web search and it seems that tramadol is considered to be an opiod. Keep in mind that I am not 100% sure this is accurate. Blessings - Blu
100 percent synthetic, causes it to stay in the body much longer and not have the kick in effect, also contains an snri antidepressant that irradic use will cause funky brain zaps, or seizure. Dozens on this website can share experience of trams/ultram, the longer it's used the greater its negative effects. "No" it does not contain a natural bi-product of the opium plant tho some of it bonds to the same receptors.
