does dextropropoxyphene feel like tramadol?

[Anon54]

I did a quick google search & came up with this:


CONCLUSIONS: The combination of dextropropoxyphene 65 mg with paracetamol 650 mg shows similar efficacy to tramadol 100 mg for single dose studies in postoperative pain but with a lower incidence of adverse effects. The same dose of paracetamol combined with 60 mg codeine appears more effective but, with the slight overlap in the 95% confidence intervals, this conclusion is not robust. Adverse effects of both combinations were similar. Ibuprofen 400 mg has a lower (better) NNT than both dextropropoxyphene 65 mg plus paracetamol 650 mg and tramadol 100 mg.

I used to take tramadol & it really worked well. i liked its snri effect.

dextropropoxyphene is an SSRI right?
does it resemble tramadol in any way. i know it's a shit opiate but does it have the AD type of effect like tramadol?

i don't think dextro... has any AD properties like tram.

the high is closer to a weak codeine high than a tram high IMO

propoxyphene is more of a toxin than an opiate.

propoxyphene is more of a toxin than an opiate.

and a good reason why the FDA removed it from it's prescribing list.

if you;re after peoples experiences with it check out the search engine as wekk have a read through Trip Reports.
