Common Questions and Answers about Is ultracet narcotic

ultracet

Avatar n tn habit forming and not super powerful in the pain relief arena but very addictive for many people..there is no tylenol in ultram or tramadol/but ultracet has tylenol in it so liver problems if taking alot of them can be a concern....like cathy said..why do u ask?
Avatar f tn My friend and I were talking the other day and she said, "Oh, my mom said a lady at her prayer group said that there was "a new darvocet out on the market now." Of course I am more than curious since my mom just had to stop darvocet herself. My friend then tells me this "new darvocet" is called Ultracet! Can you believe this? I knew this was coming since darvocet was pulled by the FDA, now the drs. are going to start prescribing ultracet/ultram/tramadol alot more.
Avatar n tn Hey, I am on day 3 and things arn't as bad as I thought, (so far) but I am using ultracet which is a non narcotic that my roommate had left over from a doc's visit! I am also using immodium and it seems to be making it easier on my ***! No offence with the language, hopefully? Anyhow, hang in there, I am! Zakk.....uhhhhhh! when does it stop?
Avatar f tn it is better not to use anything narcotic or narcotic like to stop an opiate...people do..and if u do learn everything u can so u dont end up in another addiction to a new doc..
Avatar m tn Ultram is nothing more than the Brand name for Tramadol and Ultram ER is a timed release of Tramadol. Ultracet is merely Tramdol and Tylenol in the same pill.
Avatar f tn Not to mention that it is as addictive as any narcotic. So if you are going to take Ultracet (which is tramadol and acetaminophen) and run the risk of becoming dependent on it, you'd be better off going to a pain management doc and getting something stronger (ie, an actual narcotic) that will actually work on the pain. I don't know why he'd prescribe Tramadol 50 in lieu of Ultracet, because it's the exact same drug minus the acetaminophen.
Avatar f tn I didn't realize there were different schedules for pain meds...I have rsd in both hands..I've gone from ultracet to vicodin to my second increase on percocet..Maybe this is why my pm dr is hesitant to up my dosage anymore. I have increased my neurontin increased to 1200mg a day..also on cymbalta and voltaren gel..Thanks for the info....
898832 tn?1243968023 narcotic like/stronger than tram in that respect with an actual AD mixed in..neurocet is tramdol...ultracet which tram mixed with tylenol but is not labeled here in the us as such but is an out of country brand..
Avatar f tn not exactly..oxy in theory is a bit stronger than hydro..and sub is a different type of narcotic than the other 2..but conversoin charts do compare the strength of sub to other narcotics..but it is not really the effect they r comparing//but the strength...i do believe there is a conversion chart in avisg's journal...
446097 tn?1223694666 This is going to suck. No two ways about it. Hey, the good news is that I am clean, with NO SCRIPTS to fill which means no temptation!!!
Avatar n tn Tramadol/ultram/ultracet (ultracet having tylenol in it) is habit-forming and not recommended for people with prior addictions...it was originally advertised as not being habit forming but it affects the same receptors as narcotics do...tram also has an antidepressant componenet which makes wd even more difficult due to the depression factor during detox...it is supposedly not "as" habit forming as other narcotics like hydrocodone or oxycodone if taken as prescribed...
Avatar f tn Ultracet is Tramadol and acetaminophen. Tramadol is highly addictive and a bear to quit. Those on Tramadol should taper off of it. It is a synthetic opiate. Most here would not recommend it for w/d.
Avatar f tn I have take Hydrocodone since April of last year, 1 or 2 5/500 a day on average and rarely 3 or 4. There are some days that I have not needed it but most days I do. Is Ultracet a lot different as far as pain relief? Does it take the pain away like the Lortab does? Any comments or help you can give would really be appreciated. Thanks a million!! By the way, my blood pressure has always been 110 or 120 over 60 or 70 and today it was way up for me, 150 over 91.
1071153 tn?1255369215 Do not take the Ultram. It is not labled as a narcotic but is highly addictive and since it is a synthetic opioid it will just prolong your wds. Suboxone is similiar to Methadone and is also an opioid that you will eventually have to wd from. This addiction is a lifelong thing. It's great that you have a support system in place but going to NA and learning how this addiction will play you is something that you really need to consider.
Avatar m tn I'm not looking to start a big thread or anything... I just have a quick question about this drug. Supposedly it is non-narcotic right? It's some type of synthesized narcotic or something like that. I see that there are quite a few people who are struggling with it and I was wondering if most people abuse it because it gives them some type of high like other narcotics... Thanks in advance....
Avatar f tn It's a Category C medication, which only proves that some studies have been done on the effects of pregnancy....Neonatal seizures, withdrawal and still birth have been shown to be side effects, although they mention those with alot of medications....Because there is acetaminophen in it, I would refrain from taking any additional Tylenol products with it. I can't see as where taking any narcotic is GOOD for a baby or 100% safe, but if your Dr.
Avatar m tn re trying to achieve in my lumbar. So... is the Celebrex/Ultracet combination really something to worry about? Thanks!
Avatar f tn Ultracet is a straight up 37.5 tramadol and 325 acitomitophene(sp?
Avatar n tn Sorry but this information is incorrect. Tramadol is what is know as a partial opiate agonist, that is it acts on the same opiate receptors as what you are calling narcotics. It is combined with an SNRI antidepressant which is very similar to effexor. The theory is that combining an antidepressant with an opiate will enhance the painkilling properties of the opiate so that a "milder" opiate can be used.
Avatar n tn ( I know I am such a coward) I also asked her dr for some thing for her for pain that was non-narcotic, he told me he would give her ultracet, but then when he was writing out her other meds he apparently forgot to write that one and I didn't say anything. I have heard about ultracet from being here. No thank, you sir!!!!! So here I am, I really thought it would be down hill by now. I knew I wouldn't be anywhere near out of the woods but dang, I just feel crappy right now.
Avatar m tn s time to find one - or a different one. Ultracet is a pretty mild pan reliever, but doctors love it because they've been told it's not addictive. Not true. There are plenty of people who have become addicted to it. You definitely need a stronger medication, and probably a longer-acting one than ultracet which only lasts 4 hours if you're lucky. Oxycontin, MS-contin or even the fentanyl patch are good choices for people who have 24/7 pain.
Avatar n tn I am doing the w/d off Ultracet. My advice is DO NOT TAKE IT. Especially if you have a history of addiction. The problem with it is after taking heavier medication you need more of the Ultracet to get relief but at the amount it takes to feel better, you are risking a siezure. Get off everything all together, it will be worth it. That is what I have to keep telling myself.....
439522 tn?1214951189 I've got a question. I'm tapering down from Oxycontin (done a week ago) and now hydrocodone (down to 4 per day- 5mg). Dr. has me on .1 clonidine to help with the physical withdrawal symptoms as we move down. But, today he prescribed me tramadol...with lots of refills and for long term use. I had never heard of it, and the point was that I decided it was time to move off opiates and try some other non-narcotic pain relievers.
Avatar m tn Hey Aaron... Ultracet is addictive. Many people have gotten hooked on it. Its Ultram/Ultracet/Tramadol I believe they are all related and whehter doctors say so or not, they are addictive and can be dangerous. :( sorry for the bad news. They are also derived from the opiate family. Be careful with them. Ive used them during in between times when I was using -- just to hold w/drawal at bay -- so that should tell you something right there..
Avatar m tn I believe Ultram and Ultracet are the same. It is 37.5 tramadol and whatever of acetaminophen. I had the generic of Ultracet (have the bottle right in front of me) it is broke down as aceetaminophen and 37.5 tramadol. It is entitled tramadol (generic for Ultracet) but it has the acet/tramadol combination. I was then prescribed straight tramadol which is 50mg tramadol with nothing else added. period. If ultram is different than that is news to me.
Avatar n tn scary.....is he in any type of aftercare? looks like he is definitely trying to chase a high...lock em up or keep them somewhere else....hard to do but geez....u could put a snapping turtle in the box and see what happens next time!
Avatar n tn I was taking then every day since. Then maybe about 7 months ago I added ultracet to my poisen. I have VERY easy access to Rx's. and since A family member of mine get vicodin I was getting pills from all angles. So I was taking 1 vicodin and 2 ultracets in the morning, 3 ulracets in the afternoon, 1 vicodin 2 ultracets in the evening and 3 ultracets in the night! I did that everyday, the first time i tried quitting i was going through a nervous scared depressed feeling.
Avatar f tn I have a Thomas Recipe question..... Is it worth it to take use the Thomas Recipe while either tapering off of DOC or tapering off of suboxone? And is it worth it to use in the withdrawal period between DOC and being able to start suboxone to help minimize symptoms during those 24-72 hours? Or is it just meant to start using on the day when you go completely drug free? Sorry to be so specific.
