How Long Does Tramadol Stay In Your System (Top voted first)

Updated

I took 100 mg of Tramadol last Thursday and have to have a urine test at my pain doc next Thursday (2 weeks between dosage and test). I was wondering if anyone has been tested positive after that long?

Tramadol is an opioid analgesic. It is a narcotic. It's not on the standard 12 panel test, but if you're being tested for something specific, for example, opiates if youre in the suboxone program as i am, they might add it to the panel for an extra fee. Tramadol, as many other opiates, is out of your system within 3 - 5 days. Alcohol is not on the 12 panel test and typically leaves your system very quickly (i.e. as soon as the hangover is gone). Of course these people dont have a prescription. That's why theyre on here asking about it.

I'm a chemist and i work in a lab doing urinalyses, blood tests, hair tests, etc.

No, it's not. It's a hybrid and has NOT been classified as an official narcotic by anyone. Conduct your research prior to providing opinion.

You will be fine, most of the time they don't test for tramadol anyway because it isn't a narcotic but it would be out of your system within 48-72 hours anyway so no worries

This is not true!!! I took one about 3 days before a drug screen at pain doctor. When I went in for my follow up visit I was told I showed positive for Tramadol! I was in shock and had to find a new doctor cuz they discharged me( Bastards) but anyways do not screw around with this as the pain docs arent messing around with these urine tests they ship to the lab. They are very specific.

Tramadol IS a narcotic. Stop saying that it is not. It is a mild one, but it IS a narcotic!

I can't believe everyone who perpetrates and repeats the urban myth that "Tramadol" is not a narcotic drug. You need to ask any doctor about that. It is indeed considered a narcotic drug. This is my second go around on the Suboxene program. I have been told repeatedly, by doctors, that "Tramadol" is indeed considered a narcotic and because of the Suboxene, as such it will not be effective as Suboxene blocks any receptor from the effects of narcotics, namely opiates. I tend to believe the doctors. I once believed like every one else that "Tramadol" was not considered a narcotic but according to the health care professionals, it is indeed.

Yes, that is correct, Tramadol isn't a straight narcotic and it isn't included on the standard drug tests.

Even if it were, opioids are usually only detectable for approximately 4 to 5 days, after last dosing.

https:/­/­rxchat.com/­wiki/­Tramadol/­

It is, however, never advisable to use any medication, without your doctor's approval and supervision.

Are there any other questions or comments?

Suboxone does NOT block narcotics from getting into your system, Suboxone is in fact a narcotic itself. When it is combined with Revia, then it's the Revia that blocks the effects not the Suboxone. The Suboxone is used to help you tapper off slowely. It's a redundant system, that's why it rarely works.

No bella, you are wrong. Suboxone blocks the receptors from getting high off of any other opiate. You will not become sick if you take opiates, you simply will not feel the high from them. that's the reason people overdose easily while on suboxone, because they keep taking more pills and not getting that desired high until they've taken too much. Just to clarify, you will not get sick if take opiates while on suboxone. Just nothing will happen, but the opiates will still show up in a urine test.

You know the way I see it this is a public forum....people coming together to discuss a certain topic for whatever reason....so why bash someone because they come on here to find out info about whether or not they have made a HUGE mistake or not...we are all human and we all are fallible....so give 'em a break (us) a break...sometimes for whatever reason we do things without considering the consequences....

That isn't totally true dear.
Suboxone blocks receptors of opiates so when you do opiates while on Suboxone you will be sick because of the receptors from Suboxone. I am experienced with these types of medications and health issues and addiction.
Just letting You know.

I do urine drug screens for pain management. Tramadol will show up as Tramadol if it is in the panel. Alcohol, Lyrica, Valium, gabapentin, and etc. also show up. We use the biggest panel. The lab is Ameritox. It is very very detailed. However, urine testing for a job is different....3~5 days it will be out of your system. No worries.

I know that in the state of iowa tramadol is not a narcotic and is not declared so by the DEA as it is a synthetic drug and to my understanding it is only considered a narcotic in very few states . Im looking at my paper work from the doc printed to me about tramadol and it clearly says it is not a narcotic.. maybe you live in a state that it is indeed consider a narcotic..

As a Nurse, Tramadol is considered a controlled substance. It is a mirror/analog chemical make-up of codeine. The DEA has only recently listed this as a categorized controlled substance. It is locked up with the same type of medications such as Morphine, Oxycontin, Codeine, etc. Some facilities, such as nursing homes have yet to do this. Tramadol is a mild pain killer but the potential for abuse is real.

Thank you all. They actually gave me vistiral to help out the norco i am already on and therefore didn't need the old script. It's kinda weird, I ve been going to them since Jan. and they haven't tested my urine since. Maybe it's because I usually tell them if i 've had a drink or wotnot. I ll say this much, the Butrans patch sucks. It worked for a few months but now it pretty much just leaves me with irritated skin (cortaid to the rescue).
thanks again
