Online treatment for tramadol addiction in Tennessee

Understanding Tramadol

Tramadol is a prescription opioid often prescribed for moderate pain. Marketed under brand names like Ultram and ConZip, tramadol is sometimes thought of as a “safe” or “weaker” opioid.

But tramadol still acts on opioid receptors and can lead to dependence and addiction. In fact, tramadol also affects serotonin and norepinephrine in the brain, meaning misuse can cause seizures and dangerous drug interactions.

At Recovery Care of Columbia, we treat tramadol addiction seriously, providing evidence-based care through telemedicine Suboxone treatment available across Tennessee.

Street Names for Tramadol

  • Trammies
  • Chill Pills
  • Ultras
  • Oxycotton Lite

Effects of Tramadol Use

Short-Term

  • Pain relief
  • Drowsiness
  • Mild euphoria
  • Dizziness or nausea

Long-Term

  • Dependence and addiction
  • Increased seizure risk
  • Hormonal imbalances
  • Depression and anxiety
  • Risk of serotonin syndrome when combined with antidepressants

Tramadol Withdrawal Symptoms

Withdrawal from tramadol can feel like a combination of opioid and antidepressant withdrawal:

  • Anxiety and irritability
  • Insomnia
  • Sweating and chills
  • Stomach cramps, nausea, and diarrhea
  • Electric shock sensations (“brain zaps”)
  • Seizures (in severe cases)

Because of these unique risks, quitting tramadol without medical support can be especially dangerous.

Why Tramadol Addiction is Misunderstood

Many patients underestimate tramadol’s risks because it is often prescribed for less severe pain. But in Tennessee, tramadol misuse is increasingly common, especially when patients take higher doses or mix it with other medications. Over time, tramadol dependence can progress to stronger opioids like oxycodone or heroin.

Effective Treatment for Tramadol Addiction

Suboxone Treatment (MAT)

We prescribe Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone) to help patients taper off tramadol safely. Suboxone reduces withdrawal symptoms, controls cravings, and provides a stable path to recovery — all through telemedicine Suboxone appointments in Tennessee.
