Tramadol is more of a delirium-inducing drug than a painkiller.

I guess that will be ANOTHER banned plant!

Wait I thought natural medicine was fake.

Well, not to be a real smart-ass, but for several types of minor pain that I have treated with Tramadol, it is very effective for “killing” pain. For example, I used it on minor arthritis, temporarily, with great success. There may be a medical definition for delirium that I'm not aware of; never got delirious.

Tramadol is more of a delirium-inducing drug than a painkiller.

I thought the generic name for Tramadol was Placebo.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I wish I’d thought of that.

So, you are saying it is the drug of choice for the Obamanistas?

[LonePalm]

I was on Tramadol for four years until it stopped working. No delirium at all for me. If fact I first got it from my Flight Surgeon.

Tramadol has a lot of uses but not all FDA approved uses. Have you read about its anti depressive properties? http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15358985 http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9749830 and just a sitehttp://www.beatingthebeast.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=24115

Tramadol = Synthetic morphine. It is not an analgesic. It says that it is classified as an opiate in the article. Its a narcotic. Its not a shrub. It was concocted in a laboratory.

Physically addicted to it for over 6 years. POLY-Pharmacy does not work.

BAD BAD MEDICINE!!

So will the owners of the Tramadol patent sue the plants for patent infringement?

The worst side effect of Tramodol is it don’t work (at stopping pain) for which it is mostly proscribed.

So what are Morphine, aspirin and digitalis, chopped liver?

BINGO!

I have yet to be prescribed a narcotic that actually stops pain. In fact, the side effects are so nasty that the last time I was offered narcotics, I turned them down. For the procedure I had, sedation worked very well.

Not necessary, that's what Roundup was invented for.

Why I take it all the time and I am not delirious...so drop the mustard silly toad. And why is my computer screen turning into dancing moose?

[Clinging Bitterly]

So here come the drug warriors. I don’t care. For some people it would be good to collect recipes for possible tough times. At the reported concentrations it would be super easy to extract effective quantities of the good stuff.
