I can only speak to the opioid class since I've never taken buprenorphine or tramadol. I take 1 5/500 vicodin a day, usually in the evening. I experience no side effects. When I've been prescribed vicodin or codeine after surgery the only side effect I've noticed was constipation, which was easily addressed with sodium docusate. After the one surgery I had under general anaesthetic, I woke feeling nauseated, but did not vomit. Commonly the very short acting opioid fentanyl is used during surgery. In sum I've experienced very few side effects on opioids. However everyone's mileage will vary.
