How is it that tramadol ultram is not classified as a narcotic?

Latrina

All of the effects of Tramadol (Ultram) embody the definition of a narcotic, but it's always classified as a narcotic-like drug.What makes it not a narcotic?



Caterina

Erm. Not sure what above is talking about, as tramadol's principal mechanism of action is at the mu-opiate receptor, and it's considered a synthetic opiate. It does, unlike many other opiates, have very significant serotonergic and noradrenergic activities. This makes it a narcotic as far as the common usage and the pharmacological terminology.The difference is that for whatever reason, probably due to the above outside mechanisms, tramadol has an extremely low potential for abuse. Why? Don't know. But people just don't abuse it. There's a variety of explanations for this, all due to the very odd nature of the drug. Because of this, it's not heavily controlled in most places.



Laverne

While I agree that tramadol has a low potential for abuse, that doesn't mean that there aren't folks out there abusing it all the same. See here: www.erowid.org/experien and here: abcnews.go.com/Health/s

In laymens terms...Tramadol is not an Opiate when you take it, but once your liver filters it out, the remains that your body has to process is an opiate. That's why it has the effects of an opiate but technically is not considered one.



Neil

A narcotic is an opiod medication. Tramadol is not an opiod and therefore not a narcotic. Opiods are things like codeine, oxycodone, morphine and all the long-acting morphine derivatives. Tramadol is a one of a kind medication that is as potent as a narcotic in relieving pain but not in the class of opiod medications.

What happens if i snort a tramadol?

Phuong

I just wanna know if you can snort it like you would snort Xanax. No smart *** answers please.



Vincenzo

It can cause seizures. Tramadol is only good at small regular doses throughout the day. Maybe 50mg every four hours for maximum euphoria. Snorting it is a waste. The HCL will burn the crap out of your nose and you would have better success just chewing it up. Either way, its a stripped down analog of codeine, so don't expect much. Hope that helped a little.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tramadol



Lyn

A very short opiate high is the short answer. But it has also been associated with brain hemorrhage and death. Nausea is common along with a burning esophagus from the drip.
