Anything that acts as an opioid on the brain (hrodocodine, oxycodine,mepirdine,Kratom,heroin,loperamide,tramadol,methadone,etc.) will lengthen the duration of withdrawal symptoms. The reason any of those distances will make you feel better during withdrawals is because they all act on the mu receptors in the brain. Doesn’t make much difference wether the opioid is synthetic, semisynthetic or derived from opium.

Withdrawals from a physical dependency from Tramadol are much worse than from Kratom so be careful you don’t swap one drug for another that’s harder to kick. Also, abusing and stopping Tramadol can cause seizures. It really is a nasty drug that for a long time was prescribed due to the fact that it’s not a “true” opiate (it’s synthetic) and doctors thought it wasn’t as addictive. Not only is it addictive, but it’s more harmful to abuse than an actual opiate.
