Tramadol or UltramÂ® is a German invented pain reliever created in the 1970s. It is quite different than other prescribed pain relievers like codeine or hydrocodone, and generally considered far less addictive, though people can become addicted to it. personally believe that Ultram should be a controlled substance like hydrocodone, oxycodone, and morphine. In the town I grew up in, doctors would often give out Ultram in place of opiates because it would bring less scrutiny to them.
