Tramadol hydrochloride is a prescription pain medication. It is licensed for the treatment of moderate to moderately severe pain in adults. Even though tramadol is an opioid (morphine-like) medication, it is not considered a narcotic or a controlled substance by the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).
Take care, best wishes!
I totally agree with the others answers, but am giving you a link to read about tramadol. It will help you understand it's addictive qualities also. Hope this helps too... Mary

It is a synthetic opioid. Mary is right, very addictive and dangerous, especially if stopped cold turkey or abused, siezures are a possibility.
Beware.
Thank you for the information. It's conflict in one says it is addicting another says it's not
Synthetic means it was made in a lab, & not taken from a plant base like many are... Mary
I knew that! :)
Will this medication show positive on a 7 panel drug screen?
I'm sorry, i'm not sure how the 7 panel drug screen is conducted, it will show up in a urine test though.
No, it does NOT. I know, I take it, and have been tested...

Delia, did you see my comment to you? I can't PM you yet. That comment was not directed at you. There was a conflict with another poster and I should have handled it with a private message. My bad. Sorry for the misunderstanding to you & anyone else who took this the wrong way. Very sorry, please forgive me.
Yes I did. Thank you, apology accepted : )
