Tramadol hydrochloride (Ultram^®) is approved to treat moderate to moderately severe pain in adults (age 16 and older). Because this prescription medication is a centrally acting opioid analgesic, it works by affecting the central nervous system and certain chemicals in the brain (including serotonin and norepinephrine). It is possible to take too much tramadol. Make sure to seek immediate medical attention if you think you may have overdosed on the medication. Some signs of an overdose can include difficulty breathing, lethargy, and seizures.
