Ultracet for pain
Common Questions and Answers about Ultracet for pain
ultracet
Still some pain so am taking 3 Ultracet tabs per 24 hours with pretty good pain relief except following 30 minutes on the treadmill and various muscle building exercises and stretches. To calm down those muscles following exercises and stretches I would like to take one 200mg Celebrex daily but one drug interaction cite suggests "Moderate" drug-drug issue involving CYP450 2D6, which means nothing to me.
s/fentanyl/morpheines for years. I went through detox and have been on ULTRACET now for about 3-4 years. I have heard about the withdrawl but right now it is working for me and I dont want to go back to where I was at.
Someone asked my doesage...to my knowledge there is no dose on ultracet like straight ultram. It is 37.5 tramadol and 325 acetemitaphene.
The tylenol is more my concern right now.
I am really looking for people who can compare ultram and ultracet usage.
I took Ultram years ago for chronic pain. I didn't care for it. I was on it for quite a while. I think I took 2 or 3 a day and I don't remember the dosage. But it did make me feel "high" or something. It wasn't a good feeling at all. When I stopped taking it, I didn't have any wds but from what I've read, a lot of people do.
How many pills a day or for how long do you think you would need to be on Ultracet/Ultram before you would experience withdrawal symptoms? My husband took about 100 pills in a 2 week period (unknown to me - they were mine!) and he had mysterious stomach cramping/pain around the time he finished them/ran out. Sounds like it was related.
seven days or more of acute withdrawal symptoms can occur as opposed to typically three or four days for other codeine analogues.
I realize taking any opioid for anything other than physical pain is abuse of the drug. Is it terribly unhealthy for me to take it twice a month when on stage performing (I am also into Barbershop Quartet singing and other venues of musical/stage performance)? I did a wedding two years ago and took two "ultracet" before. It made me comfortable and relaxed on stage - no anxiety or stage fright. Is this unhealthy behavior - especially for someone in a position like mine?
This is not so much a question as it is a confession. I've been using vicodin on and off for a few years...it "helped" me through my divorce, transition into a new and better life for myself and the high was so great. I was so confidant and fun to be with. I was getting them from a former employer with a DEA #. At first he wrote the perscriptions for me and we would share them I would only use them in the evening to tolerate the last few weeks of my marriage.
it also has an anti-depressant quality as well which makes them a humdinger to withdraw from ..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?
I have been having left leg pain for approximately 4 years now. After 2 years, my primary care doctor couldn't figure out what was wrong with me so she sent me to a pain clinic. I have been seeing the pain clinic doc for another 2 years now. I have had 2-3 MRI's of my back with nothing found that can explain my pain, aside from some degenerative disk disease and a bulging disk. However, the bulging disk is on the right side and my right leg is not where my pain is.
ve gone from all sorts of stomach meds to even Albuterol to now muscle relaxer and Ultracet. The relaxer and Ultracet help some, but the pain is ongoing now and when the drugs wear off; I hurt so bad and I am constantly dizzy and having like vertigo type symptoms, but it's not vertigo. At least once a day I feel as though someone is sticking their finger straight into the middle of my neck above colar bone like I'm choking.
Hi Mom,
I was addicted to Tramadol for 18 months, with 9+ months of daily abuse. I am still learning about it and am a Vet, having Rx'd it for my own patients. The short of it is, it IS addictive and do NOT believe ANYone telling you it is not.
I believe that you have an addiction if you revolve your days and thoughts about when your next dose is, if you get excited to take it, if you seek it out and start doing things you normally would not to get it, things like that.
My husband just had his Gallbladder removed and he was addict for 13 years he's been clean for 7 the dr prescribed him Ultracet and he's scared to take it for the pain because of his addictive past. The Dr knew he was a addict and told him they are not addictive but reading online it says it is should he get the script filled or just take OTC meds? If OTC what should he take?
I take tramadol for pain in my neck and back. Since I started I have been constipated. Does tramadol cause this? I try to go without laxatives but when I get to the 6th day, I am so uncomfortable that I resort to the laxative. Is this safe for me to do? I have tried metamucil, fruit, stool softeners etc. Nothing works except enema's or stimulant laxatives.
Do Cluster Headaches on the Right side of the head affect the left leg? Also I have read that laying down makes Cluster Headaches worse, Standing, Sitting, and Laying do not help at all. Actually walking is next to impossible for him when he is in severe headache mode because his left leg hurts, and becomes weak.
He describes the pain in his head as sharp and pulsating.
Please let me know if these are all symptoms of a cluster headache.
was your tramadol presription for ULTRAM or ULTRACET? If it is/was UltraCET, that contains acetaminophen (tylenol) as well as the tramadol, so therefore, if you took additional tylenol with it, you could have gotten too much of the tylenol ingredient, which could make you sick (and cause liver damage if continued).
does he have a chronic illness that causes him moderate to severe pain?
if he doesn't then it's fair to say he may well have an addiction.
perhaps his stomach issues are related to constipation which can be a side effect of taking narcotics and similar drugs. tramadol isn't classed in the same category as the most powerful opiates but it relies on the same receptors in the brain which i think is what makes it addictive.
Is he underweight?
