Default TRAMADOL-50mg

Hi
I was just given Tramadol by my doctor for some pain. Has anyone taken this and if so did you find it gave you the same relief as Percocet or Vicodon? I was also confused as to why I wasn't given one of those instead of the Tramadol,which I have never heard of before. Thanks

Tramadol has the pain killing strength of Tylenol#3.Tramadol is supposed to be non-addicting and that's why he gave you that instead of a weak pain killer like vicodon or oxycodone....Dave

mg for mg hydrocodone (vicodin, etc) is 6 times stronger the tramadol, oxycodone is about 18x, and like Dave said codeine is the same strength as trams mg/mg.
Doctors make you take baby steps first, that's why.
