    Tramadol is not affected with grapefruit juice. Only some medications like blood pressure meds like verapamil can intensify by Grapefruit juice. Tramadol is not an opiate analgesic but does have some narcotic effects. Nothing in it is related to anything opium derived. If you wanna compare it, its like tylenol. Synthetic. Not made out of tree bark like ibuprofen.

    Hope this helps!
