Abstract

Tramadol (Ultram, generic and with acetaminophen in Ultracet) carries a risk of substance abuse (strength of recommendation [SOR]: B, based on case report surveillance programs). While it appears that tramadol's risk of substance abuse is low (SOR: B, based on case report surveillance programs), tramadol is associated with a withdrawal syndrome usually typical of opioid withdrawal (SOR: B, based on case report surveillance programs, and a prospective descriptive study).
