My Aunt is coming off of a addiction to Vicodin. Her DR has prescribed her something called Ultram. Is Ultram okay to take for pain when you are going through Vicodin withdrawal or will it make it worse?

Your doctor is a quack. The opium density of Ultram is 4.5-5 times stronger than Vicodin, and that's asuming she has been perscribed the lowest dose. That her to another physician immediately, and in the meantime, hold onto the bottle yourself, it is highly addictive in it's own right.

I used Ultram/Tramadol for four years and it's withdraw is way worse than vicodin. But if it's use is limited it will be alright.
Please note Ultram/Tramadol is not a narcotic as some people say. It works a lot like one but at this time it is not classified as such.

HELLO,
IF YOUR AUNT'S DOCTOR KNEW SHE WAS PREVIOUSLY ADDICTED TO VICODIN WHY WOULD HE CHOOSE TO GIVER HER ANOTHER NARCOTIC-LIKE PAIN MEDICINE?
YOU CAN READ ALL ABOUT IT IN THE LINK BELOW.
IN MY OPINION SHE'S BETTER OFF TAKING IBUPROFEN (ADVIL) FOR PAIN.
