I was told by several Emergency Room doctors that Ultram is NOT a painkiller at all, rather an anti-inflammatory
drug. They were perplexed that I thought it was indeed a pain-killer.
Whoever told you that it was an anti-inflammatory is mistaken. You were correct. It is a painkiller. I'm sure some of the more knowledgable members will back me on this one. Actually, Ultram(tramadol hydrochloride)is a synthetic attempt at codeine.
Ultram is an anglesic that acts like a narcotic. It is completely synthetic. I'll let someone with more scientific knowldege give the breakdown. But that is what my doctor told me. Personally, I find Ultram to be more effective than Darvocet and not as effective as Hyrdo. Unlike other forms of opoids, this drug if you take too much feels very chemically induced. You really can't abuse this drug too much, at least I can't. I feel strange when I take too much, even at the 100 mg dose I feel kinda out of it. It really makes me buzzy, not in a good way. Hydro is better for me because it gets rid of my pain without any buzzy effects. Anyway, I hope that answers you quesiton a little bit.
