Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.

Tramadol is short acting opioid. So it causes opioid withdrawal symptoms.
Drugs like naltrexone, mehadone or buprenorphine can be used to treat tramadol withdrawal. All are long acting opioid and prescription based medicine. So consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer.
Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
