Yes, it is, look it up.
Wikipedia: ‘Tramadol, sold under the brand name
Ultram among others, is an
opioid pain medication and a
serotonin–norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor(SNRI) used to treat moderately severe
pain.’
Tramadol is a controlled substance, a narcotic, and does indeed get you high. It has a street value, although it was marketed as a less-addictive alternative to oxycodon, etc.
It’s been widely prescribed for back pain, post-op, etc, but much less so now that we know how addictive these meds are.
Opioids often have subtle effects for first time users, but the pleasant sensations (for most) grow on you quickly.
I’m just saying: tramadol is not a mild, easy-to-kick substance. Treat it with extreme caution.
