Tramadol is an Opioid.

J Med Toxicol. 2008 Jun;4(2):145

Authors: Katz KD

Bosse et al. incorrectly described tramadol as "a non-opioid analgesic". Tramadol is an oral analgesic, which stems from both norepinephrine and serotonin reuptake inhibition and direct micro-receptor agonism. In fact, metabolism by CYP3A4 yields the active metabolite, N-desmethyltramadol, which demonstrates greater micro-opioid receptor affinity than tramadol itself. The reason why this should be clarified is the misconception that tramadol is not an opioid, and, therefore, can be administered without concern for toxicity or abuse compared to other opiates or opioids. Admittedly, the incidence of abuse is relatively low but it is not nonexistent.

A Case of a Patient with Both Chorea and Restless Legs Syndrome.

J Korean Med Sci. 2008 Jun;23(3):533-536

Authors: Shin YK, Hong SC, Ihn YK, Jeong JH, Han JH, Lee SP

The patient was a 44-yr-old man with end-stage renal disease who had developed chorea as a result of hypoglycemic injury to the basal ganglia and thalamus and who was subsequently diagnosed with depression and restless legs syndrome (RLS). For proper management, the presence of a complex medical condition including two contrasting diseases, chorea and RLS, had to be considered. Tramadol improved the pain and dysesthetic restlessness in his feet and legs, and this was gradually followed by improvements in his depressed mood, insomnia, lethargy, and feelings of hopelessness. This case suggests that the dopaminergic system participates intricately with the opioid, serotoninergic, and noradrenergic systems in the pathophysiology of RLS and pain and indirectly of depression and insomnia.
