Tramadol is a pain medication, not a sleep medication.

It has opioid effects and can cause drowsiness but would never be prescribed for sleep.

It’s also typically a controlled substance. I don’t know where you live but I’d be surprised if anyone was handed a 12 month supply in a bottle.



There are a wild amount of countries where it’s not treated like the opioid that it is, for what it’s worth. Mostly not western ones, though.
