About Tramadol
What Is Tramadol?
Tramadol is a type of opiate (narcotic) analgesic, which is a class of medications that alters the way that the brain reacts to pain. Even though the drug is meant to be used to treat moderate to severe pain, it is sometimes abused by people in pursuit of its euphoric high. Since the high can feel calmer than many similar drugs, some people mistake it as a safe drug to use recreationally. However, the abuse or misuse of this drug can lead to a variety of troubling side effects.
Tramadol Other Names:
Tramadol is commonly known by some of its brand names, including Ultram, Ultram ER, and ConZip. There are also several tramadol street names, some of which include:

When abused or misused, tramadol may cause more serious side effects. Some of these may include difficulty breathing, swelling, heart rate changes, becoming unconscious, and hallucinations.
