Withdrawal: Tramadol is a rather unique analgesic drug that is indicated for moderate to moderately severe pain. Although it binds to mu receptors, tramadol is not technically classified as an opioid analgesic. This medication may cause withdrawal reactions, especially if it has been used regularly for a long time and in large doses. Nightmares and chills are some of the symptoms of withdrawal.
