Hi Bev, opiates are derived from the
opium poppy and are a natural alkaloid of the plant, the only true opiates are,
morphine,
codeine, heroin, and opium of course. Opioids are "opiate like", they're synthesized,
methadone, buprenorphine, and the codone's and morphone's, etc. are opioids, I think Darvocet falls under the opioid category, but
tramadol does not, it's more closely related to the antidepressant family.
It takes a special panel to test for methadone.
Hi Robert!
