A member asked:
Is tramadol effective for headache(back of head) and neck pain(tension)..or would a muscle relaxer be more effective?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tramadol: Tramadol is a rather unique analgesic drug that is indicated for moderate to moderately severe pain, headache and neck pain included. Tramadol is not technically classified as an opioid analgesic. Instead, it is classified as a centrally acting synthetic analgesic compound and therefore is not a scheduled narcotic drug.
