The last paragraph of the History section should be deleted. It's a bunch of supposed etymologies for various drugs, most of them not relevent in this article. It's poorly written, and there are no references cited. Not relevent, not encyclopedia, and not verified. It goes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 139.68.134.1 ( talk • contribs) February 13, 2013
i had removed "tramadol" from the list of things that have a less severe withdraw. it is now being shown that due to tramadol also being a SNRI and having a similar withdraw effects as SSRI discontinuation syndrome and often taking up to a month for all symptoms to subside, while on average, opiate withdraw will be done in less than a week.
