Tramadol withdrawal symptoms While it is less effective than other opioid pain relievers, tramadol can still be dangerous and addictive if not taken as prescribed.
What is tramadol? (symptoms of tramadol withdrawal from the body)
An opioid pain reliever (OPR), tramadol falls into the family that includes fentanyl and oxycodone, although significantly weaker than either. It is ideal for people who are experiencing moderate to moderate severe pain or are recovering from surgery. Also, unlike most other opioids, tramadol is classified as a Schedule IV drug because it is considered to be less likely to abuse. Tramadol is unique from other opioids in that it also binds to opiate receptors in the brain and central nervous system (CNS) to reduce pain, and is also known to improve mood.
Tramadol is most commonly prescribed as Conzip or Ultram, although other generic alternatives are available. Because tramadol is weaker than other OPRs, people tend to believe that they cannot develop an addiction. However, tramadol is still an opiate and therefore addictive. Underestimating the effectiveness of a drug is one of the worst mistakes that can lead to the development of dependence and/or addiction.

Symptoms of tramadol withdrawal from the body
Tramadol is a central nervous system (CNS) depressant. This means that it slows down lung and heart function, allowing the user’s body to relax. Also, tramadol binds to opiate receptors in the brain, blocking the pain signal. So what it does is release large amounts of dopamine, a feel-good chemical, into the brain, which produces a feeling of euphoria and increases pain inhibition.
As with any drug, the use of tramadol can have side effects. A person taking a prescription may experience the following, even if they are taking it responsibly:
drowsiness
headache

Tramadol addiction
When a prescription pain reliever is used, there is always a chance of dependence and/or addiction, especially when the intensity and duration of the pain are considered. Even though tramadol is not as powerful as others on the market that doesn’t mean it should be taken lightly.
Dependence occurs when an individual’s body and mind become so used to the presence of a drug that they cannot function “normally” without it. Dependence is characterized by the appearance of withdrawal symptoms if the use of the drug is reduced or stopped. Addiction is characterized by a combination of dependence, compulsive drug use despite experiencing negative consequences, and other behaviors such as relationship problems, cravings, and risky activities.
Addiction is more likely to result from drug abuse but can occur even if it is taken as prescribed. Also, sometimes, the user has genetic traits that make him more susceptible to addiction. Often, a person tries to get rid of his pain.
If you think that your regular use of tramadol has turned into a dependency or addiction, don’t be afraid to speak up. So addiction is something a person can rarely fight on their own. So it takes strength, direction, and a support network to help find the right path to recovery.
Tramadol addiction treatment
In the case of a prescription drug such as tramadol, there are easier treatment methods than in the case of addiction to illegal substances. Also for the medicines that patients receive from the doctor, they can be reduced. There are some advantages to this, most notably that withdrawal symptoms and pain from detoxing are greatly reduced. This makes the process easier on the body and gives the person recovering a better chance of success, especially since it keeps the individual in treatment. It also allows the user to restructure normal brain function over time, maintaining a greater sense of return to normal.
If you or someone you know is addicted to tramadol, or any prescribed pain reliever, there is nothing to be ashamed of. Also, with today’s culture and the power of painkillers, a dependency can develop in anyone who takes them. Fear of revealing the truth is not a reason not to seek help, so please contact us today.
