Just a question because I have seen some people taking different ones and I was wondering what there potentness was. Please only answer if you know for sure. i know neither is a narcotic and are below things like Oxycotin but I think they are powerful

Tramadol is a narcotic. It is a synthetic opioid. It is addictive, can be abused and when stopped suddenly after long term use can result in severe withdrawal symptoms. Don't be fooled by people who say it is not a narcotic. Also note, contrary to what the first responder has reported, there is no evidence of tramadol causing seizures, as much as lowering the seizure threshold in people who are prone to have them. It is often reported as caused seizures, due to the prescence of tramadol being a key factor in the seizure in an otherwise stable person.Naproxen is an antiinflamatory, it would be considered reasonable for mild to moderate pain,Tramadol is unusual in that some patients have significant relief, and others seem to have no benefit. So if you ask two separate people you may get widely varied answers. For those for whom tramadol is effective, it works as well as hydrocodone which is found in Vicodin or Norco. These in turn are similar in dose effect orally to morphine. However it takes approximately 100 mg of tramadol to equal 30 mg of hydrocodone or morphine. Oxycontin is stronger on a dose effect level orally than morphine or tramadol.Methadone is stronger than Oxycontin.Fentanyl is strongest in an equianalgesic dose, but cannot be taken as an oral tablet.

tramadol is like tylenol3 (tylenol w/codeine). it's a sythetic opiod. works well, but overuse/abuse could give you seizures. naproxen is an NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory). Think super strong advil. sold OTC as aleve. could be really tough on the stomach. the chart in the source link has opioid equivalents for what's out there.

LOL not very high!!I've taken both. I still take hydrocodone and oxycodone. Tramadol you might as well take extra strength tylenol. At least with that you don't get withdrawls.
