    Is tramadol addictive?
    I'm wondering because the doctor prescribed it for my arthritis pain.

    Tramadol hydrochloride (Rybix ODT, Ryzolt, Ultram) is commonly prescribed for arthritis pain. It is a narcotic pain medication (analgesic) and has addictive potential. All pain meds do.

    For additional and more complete information please refer to the following: RxList and/or Drugs.com

    You are very wise to independently investigate the drugs prescribed to you. I compliment you for your initiative.

    Please read the information on the specialty sites provided (and there are others) and if you have further questions get back to us. Always happy to help.
