Tramadol addiction treatment
Pain is a warning signal for our body. However, it is natural that we do not like to feel it. Each of us has a different pain threshold and we accept its intensity to varying degrees. Pain management has been a challenge for medicine for generations. One of the strategies to relieve pain and reduce chronic pain conditions is pharmacotherapy. Already in the times of the ancient Egyptians, opium was used – a drug with a strong analgesic effect. With the progress of medicine, morphine was discovered, and later other synthetic opioid analgesics such as fentanyl, oxycodone and tramadol. Opioids are highly effective in relieving pain, but they also have euphoric and sedative effects, which makes them mentally and physically addictive in a very short time.
What is tramadol?
Tramadol is a prescription drug used to treat moderate to severe pain. It is a narcotic agent and belongs to the group of synthetic opioid analgesics. Just like opiates, tramadol binds to opioid receptors in the brain and affects the nervous system of the body, so it relieves pain, relaxes, makes us feel happy.
Tramadol is commonly used not only in the treatment of sudden, acute pain conditions, but also in the treatment of chronic pain, post-traumatic pain, postoperative pain, as well as in alleviating the suffering associated with cancer.
Tramadol is sold under various brand names. Among them, we can distinguish: Tramal, Poltram, Doreta, Zaldiar, Skudexa, Palgotal, Exbol, Maxitram, Marol, Zydol, Zamadol, Tramulief, Tramquel, Ultram, Conzip, Ultracet, Ryzolt, Transparent.
Due to its euphoric effect, Tramadol is sometimes used recreationally and has its street names such as: trammies, tramal, chill pills, ultras, sneakers, sneakers.
Tramadol is available as tablets or extended-release capsules. This means that its effects come on gradually and peak within four to six hours of taking the drug.
Tramadol is a psychoactive drug. This means that it affects the functioning of the brain, changes mood, behavior, thoughts and feelings. It causes relaxation and increases optimism.
The action of Tramadol is characterized by pain relief, a state of euphoria and relaxation. Under the influence of the preparation, we are able to perform a large, high-energy effort without feeling stress and suffering. The drug should be used for the short-term treatment of pain and is not recommended to be taken for more than a few weeks.
Is tramadol addictive?
Tramadol is considered a drug that has less addictive potential than other synthetic opioids such as oxycodone or fentanyl. For this reason, it is often prescribed by doctors. Most patients believe that they are completely safe when taking a prescription drug as prescribed by their doctor and do not realize that tramadol can cause a strong addiction, especially if taken for a long time. Each person has a different tolerance to the effects of painkillers and a different susceptibility to addiction.
The problem with tramadol may develop in patients who have not previously experimented with other psychoactive substances – they did not abuse alcohol, did not smoke tobacco, did not consume drugs, and therefore led a healthy lifestyle. During our many years of work with addicted patients, we have repeatedly observed people who fell into the clutches of addiction during pharmacotherapy with tramadol.
An example is a middle-aged, non-smoker man who runs his own successful business and is prescribed tramadol for a spinal hernia. Along with the duration of pharmacotherapy with tramadol, he needed increasing doses of the preparation in order to reduce pain. Subsequently, he needed the drug to prevent any pain, and finally the regular dose of tramadol was not enough to function normally. The patient became restless and experienced full-blown opiate withdrawal syndrome, prompting him to seek treatment for tramadol addiction.
Tramadol is sometimes used as a cheaper and “safe” drug for recreational purposes. Although it has a weaker effect than morphine and heroin, in higher doses it also causes a pleasant experience of euphoria and blissful carefreeness, which is associated with the risk of developing addiction to tramadol.
What are the signs of tramadol addiction?
Tolerance to tramadol develops quite easily. This means that you need to take increasing doses of the preparation to achieve the same analgesic or euphoric effect.
Warning signs of tramadol addiction:
- Taking tramadol for longer than prescribed or in higher doses than recommended
- Illegally buying tramadol
- Mixing tramadol with other narcotic substances (alcohol, drugs, psychoactive drugs)
- Inability to reduce and stop taking tramadol
- Failure to fulfill domestic and professional obligations
- Continuing to take tramadol despite recurring social and interpersonal problems
- Taking tramadol in risky and dangerous situations (e.g. driving under the influence of medication)
- Craving - the occurrence of unpleasant symptoms when you stop taking tramadol

If physical dependence on tramadol develops, severe withdrawal symptoms are observed. Unpleasant symptoms may appear as early as 6 hours after discontinuation of tramadol. These include: diarrhoea, nausea, depression, shortness of breath, palpitations, flu-like symptoms. To guard against the occurrence of withdrawal syndrome, patients may claim that they have lost their prescriptions or left their medications somewhere to get more tramadol packages. They may visit more than one doctor or use online prescribing services.
It happens that patients addicted to tramadol try to obtain the preparation illegally, on the black market. Then there is a chance that they will receive funds of unknown origin, often contaminated with other much more dangerous substances, e.g. fentanyl.
At a later stage of tramadol addiction, patients begin to experiment with other narcotic substances. They start using illicit drugs such as heroin in order to obtain an analgesic and euphoric effect and eliminate withdrawal syndrome.
Tramadol works by depressing the central nervous system, so it slows down the functioning of the brain, heart and lungs. In the event of an overdose of tramadol, respiratory arrest and death may occur.
