What are your experiences with tramadol ?

Ummm pee in a cup? Unless you're on Suboxone, or at an outpatient for substance abuse issues, I'm not sure a DR. taking urine tests is appropriate. Unless there is a tramadol protocol I am unaware of/ But Tramadol is a partial opiate agonist, however it does not give you the "high" feeling that your full opiates (oxycocone, oxycontin, morphine, etc..) gives you.
The only thing I can think of is that because you're taking Lyrica, you cannot mix with tramadol, so she's checking for that? But again, I do not think that Tramadol would even show up on a drug screen unless she's testing specifically for that.
What type of Dr. is this?

dougs72,
I may be coming across as more vexed than I really am about the tramadol and peeing in a cup. I have actually been amused by it for the most part. She is a pain doctor and I see some of her other patients in the waiting room. They look like they really need heavy duty pain meds. And, should have them. I assume that pain doctors are under some scrutiny.
I also don’t expect to be not suspect just because I’m 72.
However, This doctor does know that I work full time and am involved in a lot of other activities.
Regarding getting a buzz from opiates, the Percocet
They gave me after my hip replacement was great for the pain, but I never felt impaired on it.
Claritin, on the other hand,
Makes me feel euphoric and like everything is just great.

Pain doctor. I keep telling her that I never hid this from her. Told her the day we met that occasionally I took dog’s tramadol.
