It makes no difference how civilized and sensible we are, the instinct of self-preservation is very strong in every person living. Have you ever considered how deep this instinct is interred in you? It makes you jump off the road when a wild driver rashes by. It makes you pull back your hand instantly when you touch something very hot, cold or spooky. It prompts us to find our second halves and produce kids to guarantee the life of future generations. And the basic way of the instinct of self-preservation to communicate with us and tell us whether we do right or wrong are two polar sensations - pain and pleasure.

Pleasure is the most desirable sensation in the world. We all long for pleasures of all kinds imaginable because they make us feel happy and believe that our life is worth living.

It was a splendid synthetic Codeine analog, belonging to the calss of the phenanthrene alkaloids and opioids. Just like Codeine, Tramadol in the course of clinical testing proved to be a great pain reliever. Soon Tramadol showed unique characteristics. Unlike Codeine, Tramadol was metabolized in human body into M-1. The new medication affected the human opiate receptors or μ1 and μ2 receptors like any opiod was supposed to, but in addition to it Tramadol became famous for releasing serotonin and inhibiting the effect of norepinephrine in human brain. It was absolutely new and unpredictable. In other words, Tramadol caused euphoria alongside with dangerous respiratory depression showing exclusive μ-opioid receptors selectivity impossible with Morphine and other natural and semi-synthetic phenanthrene alkaloids and opioids. Later Tramadol was used for managing numerous painful states including the main types of neuralgia, injuries, chronic health problems etc.
