Anyone care to check drug testing panels go [url]www.legacyhealth.org[/url]. Sorry it would not let me paste the address to you have to type the URL. You were right about the variety of answers, possibly people should check their facts before spreading panic over erroneous info. A blood test for tramodol would be like a urine test, if you were SPECIFICALLY looking for a drug it will show up, if not, No. For example a DUI panel tests for Amphetamine, Meth, Cocaine,Marijuana, opiates and of course alcohol. Other panels include barbiturates, benzos, propoxyphene and PCP. There i no panel that includes tramodol, and since it is not an opiate it will NOT show.

Here's an update. I jumped off of tramadol about 7 days ago and doing pretty good. Just get a little jittery once in a while. not really a big deal. The big problem is sleep. Only getting about 2-3 hours a night. I'm sure it will get better. I know this drug affects everyone differently. The major advise I can give is to taper down. Long ago, I was taking 8 a day. But for the last 2 years it has been 1 and a half pill a day. I am having no depression so far so I just may stop taking it completly.

I will not take ambien any more for sleep. This is a weird drug and is making me nuts. There have been times when I would get up in the morning and find things that I've done last night without remembering that I have done it. I have never walked in my sleep until I started taking this drug. Wondering if anyone else was having this problem.
