taking tramadol with tylenol

I a not a doctor but, I also have lower back problems, degenerated disk, herniated disk, and hep c... so far 100mg of tramadol twice a day seems to work for me, I also take hydrocodone once and a while if my pain is bad, same as lortab only 5/500.

Thanks for your post! I definitely needed to get off the tramadol because I've had major issues with it in the past. I have never been addicted to any drug in my life, not even any full agonist opiate/traditional opiate (tramadol works differently than any other opiate and medical experts have no idea how it works fully, they didn't even classify it as an opiate when it was first developed, but it definitely is!).

This has happened with Demerol, Diluidid,Darvocet,Hydrocodone and Tramadol. I can take Tylenol #3 and morphine (post op in the hospital) with out any problems. Sometimes,if I take one of the itchy ones with Atarax and benadryl I'm ok for awhile, and then the itching will eventually get too bad and I will have to switch to something else. Tylenol #3 dosen"t work very well for the pain, so my PCP is always looking for something else to try.

If you do not feel like you can handle this yourself I would suggest that you talk to your doctor about it. Keep posting and talking about it it seems to help.

You can try taking things like Tylenol PM. You dont always have to go to the heavier drugs. It worked for me when I went cold turkey... It helps you relax and helps you sleep well. Most of all its least likely thing to be habit forming. You can also try xanax, thats what i've now been taking its an anti anxiety medicine helps with RLS and sleep and anxiety. But that is easily habit forming. I wish you luck!

Usually the doctor will tell you not to take any opiates 8 or so hours before your injection if they are also injecting you with something like fentanyl along with the steroid. Tramadol is technically an opioid, although synthetic, it is still considered a narcotic. Tramadol and Tylenol are not the same as Tramadol is an opioid as well as acts as an SNRI. You should google Tramadol and read about it before you take it or call your doctor.

I was involved in a car accident april 2013, and had some injuries, but was told my back showed no break. I was put on Percocet 5 ....every 6 hours, but wasn't getting enough pain relief. I constantly get a burning or ache in my spine area that is very painful! Trying to offset the pain medication (as doctors don't want to increase due to addiction).... I seem to regurally take a bottle of Tylenol 500 mg of 100 tabs per week.

but they all contain tylenol///ultracet is tam with tylenol....Ultram is just tramadol///tramadol is the generic name and Ultam is a brand name Trams do have both an AD quality causing increased seratonin/which is the same action as many popular ADs...zoloft, lexapro, prozac paxil, celexa...but it is an intense immediate effect with trams and these other ADs have to build up over time to help depression...

The issue with amount of Norcos you take is the Tylenol. 20 a day, with the tylenol being 325 strength? That is 6500mg of tylenol a day. That is too much. I would tell your doctor nothing is working. I hope you find some relief.

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?

Does anyone have any experience with taking tramadol while on tx. My GI said no aspirin or motrin (elevated AST & ALT) and said no more than 500 mg. tylenol twice a day,this isnt enough to help with the bone and body pain. I'm thinking about asking for a toradol Rx. I dont have any drug abuse history,just looking for a little relief. thanx for any info.

I have a very addictive personality and have been using different drugs over the past 4 yrs (percocet, lortab, tylenol with codeine, fioricet with codeine, etc), just to give you guys an idea of how long this has been going on. I have only been taking the Tramadol for about 6 months (no other drugs). Any advice will be greatly appreciated, as well as any prayers!

I am on day 6 without taking Tramadol. I have been taking 50mg of Tramadol for 7 years and now am trying cold turkey. Would it be wise to take a Tramadol in the morning to ease up this very tired and weird feeling or would it throw me back to the addiction?

I take them all,however, between 5 and 11PM as that is when my pain worst. My concern is the tylenol. My doctor says that taking up to 8 per day will not cause problems... thoughts on this?

So Ive been prescribed tramadol 100mgs twice a day along with taking 500mgs of naproxen. Now Ive taken tramadol in the past for pain and recreational purposes and never had a problem when I stopped but I never took them for too long of a period. My question is being that I have an addictive personality, especially to opiates(norco,oxycontin), how long is it relatively safe for me to take tramadol without becoming addicted or dependent upon them.

Don't fret!!! You' and the baby will be fine. I'm also 38 weeks (yay us!) and have been taking Tylenol to help with my current back pains. So long as we don't go over the recommended amount of doses per day, we're fine. It does absolutely nothing to our tiny human.

I was really set against taking Tylenol or any pregnancy recommended medication. I read an article tylenol contributes to babies who developed ADD /ADHD later on as children. Not sure how accurate this is. However, only started yesterday taking it for a severe migraine and currently in second trimester. Doesn't really help with pain at all. Also worried that it will cause side effects in baby later.

thanks you guys, today i offically am taking my last tramadol.. tomorrow will start a new day..i been taking these for a yr and a half now and i want off them, like everyone else has said, they make you want more and more cuz your body gets use to them...are there any supplements i should take?

Am I understanding what you're taking is JUST tylenol? Or is it tylenol combined with something else (perhaps a narcotic pain reliever)? 375 mg of tylenol is a very low dose - actually ONE adult regular strength tylenol is 325 mg, so I'm not sure how you'd be getting 50mg or 375 mg?? The maximum daily amount of acetaminophen (tylenol) is 4,000 mg daily, so if you're only taking 375mg daily, you are well below that amount.

I've been taking tramadol 4-5 pills a day.I'm due Dec.22, What could be wrong with my baby? An?

Tramadol is no good!!!! It does a good job with constipation/stomach problems!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was given Tramadol and Buscopan but after reading the leaflets am weary of taking them as i am still breastfeeding my 14mth old baby (although only now once each evening). The doctors were aware i am nursing. i was given doses in hospital, the last dose was aprox 10am and am not due to feed baby till 6pm. should i feed her still tonight or give cows milk? Should i carry on with these or ask my gp to give me alternitives?
