Tramadol may be one of the least potent opiates, but it is still highly addictive. Like many people, this misunderstanding may have led you to develop dependence after repeated use of Tramadol without realizing it.

Even when Tramadol is used correctly and under the supervision of a doctor, you can experience adverse reactions such as nausea and dizziness. And if you have been taking Tramadol in combination with other drugs or taking too much, your risk of severe and sometimes fatal side effects increases.
Tramadol side effects may include
Nausea and vomiting
Constipation
Fever
Dizziness
Appetite loss
Muscle aches
Depression
Sweating
Severe symptoms of misuse can include seizures and central nervous system (CNS) depression, where your heart rate and breathing decrease, leading to loss of consciousness, coma, seizures, and an accidental overdose.
Some people use Tramadol alongside other drugs to self-medicate or increase their high, often called “polysubstance use.” The risk of Tramadol addiction is higher when it is taken with other substances such as
Alcohol
Other kinds of painkillers
Opioids
Antidepressants
Sedative hypnotics (like Benzodiazepines and sleeping pills)
Cold medicine
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), emergency department visits involving Tramadol misuse increased approximately 250% from 2005 to 2011.
Among people aged 12 or older in 2020, 3.3% (or about 9.3 million people) reported misusing prescription pain relievers in the prior 12 months.
It’s essential to recognize the signs of Tramadol misuse as early as possible to prevent an addiction from developing.
Check yourself for signs such as
Pinpoint (tiny) pupils
Changes in appetite
Nausea or vomiting
Drowsiness
Slurred speech
Headaches
Impaired coordination
Tramadol misuse can also lead to severe adverse reactions, such as seizures. Seizures are most likely if you take large dosages of Tramadol (usually 400 milligrams or more daily) for extended periods or if you take it with antidepressants.
In addition, you may experience serotonin syndrome if you take Tramadol with antidepressants. Symptoms of serotonin syndrome include
Confusion
Agitation
Jerky muscles
Rigid muscles
Tremors
Lack of coordination
Seizures
Coma
Tramadol stimulates opioid receptors in the brain and inhibits the reuptake of two neurotransmitters: serotonin and norepinephrine. Because of this, two forms of withdrawal, with two unique sets of side effects — traditional and atypical opioid withdrawal syndromes — may be experienced.
Traditional side effects of Tramadol detox include
Nausea
Gastrointestinal pain
Diarrhea
Vomiting
Muscle aches
Body pains
Atypical syndrome symptoms include
Hallucinations
Intense paranoia
High anxiety
Panic attacks
Confusion
Disorientation
Depersonalization
Numbness and prickling
Generally, Tramadol withdrawal symptoms will last for only 5-7 days if a proper tapering method is used. Any symptoms that last longer than a week are considered post-acute withdrawal symptoms. Although these symptoms are not life threatening on their own, they put you at a high risk of making wrong decisions and getting into dangerous situations. A medically monitored facility like Restored Path Detox is a safer option to get you on the road to healing.
At Restored Path Detox, we offer medically monitored tramadol withdrawal help, a high level of care, and around-the-clock monitoring.
We use FDA-approved medications for opioid withdrawal to ease withdrawal symptoms, manage drug cravings, and help you refrain from returning to drug use. Each medication is beneficial during Tramadol detox and treatment in different ways.
Buprenorphine fills opioid receptors for a more extended amount of time than Tramadol. While it can help minimize opioid withdrawal symptoms, it shouldn’t cause you to feel “high” or produce the same mind-altering effects.
Naltrexone is used after early withdrawal when Tramadol is entirely removed from the body to maintain opioid abstinence. It works by blocking opioid receptors from being activated by opioid drugs.
The Tramadol withdrawal timeline varies from person to person and depends on whether you are misusing a short- or long-acting version of the drug. Tramadol is also largely influenced by the frequency, duration, dosage, and method of use.
Here is a general withdrawal timeline for short-acting Tramadol:
Initial symptoms appear within the first 8-24 hours after the last dose.
Withdrawal symptoms reach their most intense point between 36-72 hours.
Symptoms continue to subside over the next 5-8 days. Those with long-term misuse may still struggle during this time.
