Believe it or not they believed tramadol was NOT addictive for years. We (pharmacists) pushed and pushed for the FDA to change its category to controlled long before they ever did. I met with DEA agents and wrote letters as many of my colleagues did.
Finally they changed the drug to controlled and issued warnings about its addictive traits— traits we had been warning about for years, since its release into the market.
That is what the DEA is for.

Hi Renee, my understanding about Tramadol was that it is an opiate product with an epinephrine product added to it thinking that would prevent the opiate euphoria. I remember always clenching my teeth and having insomnia when I took it and it really wasn't strong enough for my type of pain. I don't know if my understanding is correct but I never liked the drug anyway. Take care and again thanks for your good information! Many blessings, and warmest wishes, Sunny flower
