Opioids are addictive. Tramadol is addictive, according to my orthopedic surgeon. That said, what worked the best for me after my last joint replacement was 1/2 Tramadol + 1 regular acetaminophen (Tylenol). It controlled the pain, and I was able to stop them altogether after a few days. Evidently, the two together have a synergistic effect (maybe it was one of the Doctor's Assistants who told me this), so they work better together than either one separately. Plus, I was able to use just 1/2 of the Tramadol dose to get that good effect.
