What is Tramadol?
Tramadol is
a strong painkiller which is a prescribed drug. The pain med comes as a brand
version of the generic Ultram. Painkillers which are very strong are commonly
known as opioids. These drugs basically work on the central nervous system to
treat the pain sensation.
Researchers
and doctors have also said that Tramadol works similar to that of Morphine. The
painkiller basically changes the direction of the perceiving pain from reaching
the brain.
Why you should not opt for Tramadol
As we know
that the pain med is something that gives us relief, but the drugs are also
accompanied by serious adverse effects. The reason why you should not choose
this pain med are-
• Tramadol is synthetic drug and is
classified as a schedule IV drug substance under the US Drug and Enforcement Administration.
In most of the place of US, this painkiller is banned from buying and even
selling
• Tramadol is highly abused and comes with
serious addiction features. There are
cases where people have an overdose and even it may lead to death.
• Tramadol is a narcotic drug and hence falls
under Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act.
• The painkillers come with a withdrawal
symptom also. Traditional opioids like oxycodone and hydrocodone increase
sensations of pleasure and can produce a “high” when taken in larger doses than
you are prescribed. But Tramadol works a
little differently by not only activating opioid receptors in the brain but
also by blocking neurotransmitters like serotonin and norepinephrine from being
reabsorbed back into the system.
Thus,
Tramadol withdrawal may actually take two different forms: traditional opioid
withdrawal syndrome or atypical opioid withdrawal syndrome.
