Methadone is contraindicated with Cisapride, Dronedarone, all MAOI's, Phenothiazines, Pimozide, Toremifene, and Ziprasidone. There's a pretty huge list of drugs that should be avoided (or have alternatives considered), but those are the worst (mainly because of potential cardiac effects).

Yup tramadol is dangerous.
