t want to take tramadol if you have a history of
addiction, as they are habit forming as well. Many people have become addicted, and the w/ds are bad, some say worse than opiates like hydrocodone, oxycodone, etc. Many states have made tramadol a scheduled narcotic, and many more are following suit.
They also have an antidepressant property (they effect the neurotransmitter GABA) which can make the emotional aspect of w/d even more severe.
