No, although it is considered an opiate analgesic along the lines of codeine, hydrocodone, oxycodone etc. Tramadol is however not (yet) considered a controlled substance or a narcotic even though it works the same as other opioid analgesics. Tramdol is 1/10th the strength of morphine but considered to be as effective a painkiller as codeine mg to mg (30mg of tramadol=30mg codeine), although the standard dose for tramadol is 50mg whilst codeine (tyl 3) is 30mg.

I never thought it was narcotic either although I do know it was made to act the same by using almost identical chemical composition trying to mimac the composition of morphine. When you google the national library of medicine says that it is narcotic and so does 5 other sites. Now I'm confused.

No. Tramadol is Ultram. It is a non-narcotic painkiller.

No. The brand name is Ultram and the ingredient is Tramadol. It is a narcotic:

Not at all. That is the generic. Ultram is the brand name and has no narcotics in it at all.
