Tramadol is a partial agonist at the mu receptor, not a full agonist like the drugs you listed. It has much lower intrinsic activity and its "effects" are correspondingly diminished compared to full agonist opioid analgesics.

Thanks for bring this thread back up though! My doc just prescribed me Ultram reassuring me that it wasn't addictive. That is isn't a narcotic. Doctors always seem to push this crappy drug on me, everytime I mention I am in chronic pain. I wish Ultram was never made.

I've read that many elderly patients are addicted to this crap.
