Ultram is really bad stuff, IMO. From the US Dept. of Justice:

Although the company initially claimed that this substance produced only very weak narcotic effects, recent data demonstrates that opioid activity is the overriding contributor to the drug’s pharmacological activity. Because of inadequate product labeling and lack of established abuse potential, many physicians felt this drug was perfectly safe to prescribe to recovering narcotic addicts and to known narcotic abusers. As a consequence, a large number of reports of abuse and dependence have been received.

Fiorinal is not an opiod but very addicting. It is old (1920's). It is also available in a narcotic form: Fiorinal w/Codiene #3.
