Could ultram (tramadol) ease hydrocodone withdrawals?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Tramadol is a weak opioid and therefore would help with hydrocodone withdrawal.

Controversial: There are studies on both sides of this issue, with some researchers finding that tramadol did reduce withdrawal, while others finding that it either did very little, or in some cases actually made it worse. A problem is that doses of ultram in the therapeutic range (300-400 mg/day) can cause seizures. My patients have told me mostly that ultram did very little for them, but a few got + results.
