Ultram is Not a Narc: Ultram (tramadol) is not a narcotic medication, which is why it is generally considered to be safer than most other pain medications and less likely to result in dependence. I am not sure about its legal status in Penn, but I would be surprised if it had been classified together with opiates/narcotics....

Tramadol Narcotic: Yes Tramadol is considered a narcotic because it binds to the mu receptors in the Central Nervous System, and it also acts as an Inhibitor in the re-uptake of Serotonin-Norepinephrine. Tramadol has the potential for abuse and dependency. The DEA has classified a Category IV substance.
