Ultracet half life

Common Questions and Answers about Ultracet half life

ultracet

Avatar m tn It may be mild in terms of pain reliever but it has a nasty half life and plays havoc on your system when you go off it..not to mention your brain (it also acts like an anti-dep). I wake up every morning with terrible sweats/cold, aches in every orfuses I know of (and didn't know I had). I feel nauseous and just plain sick. But worse than the flu. I take a couple of the trams..and about 30min later I feel better. The problem is now I can't just stop...
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn Ultracet is a straight up 37.5 tramadol and 325 acitomitophene(sp?
Avatar f tn whats ultracet? i know its a pain reliever with tylenol, but does it give you the energy and motivation of vike or percs? I ask because I had to change doctors, and while he wasnt too happy to write for the vicodins i have been on for years, he had no problem with ultracet and he gave me a script.....so im basically asking, do people get addicted to this drug? should i not even start it?
Avatar f tn I have fibromyalgia, degenerative disk disease, and cervical disk pain from previous cervical surgeries. Up until 2 weeks ago, I was taking Effexor XR daily, and Zanaflex and Ultracet 37.5, as needed. 2 weeks ago my cervical disk started going haywire with pain. I upped my Ultracet to 3 a day as prescribed and started taking the Zanaflex to the maximum dosage too. This did not faze the pain.
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 f tn The half-life of a drug is how long it takes for half of it to be eliminated from the bloodstream. Hope that helps.
6298176 tn?1380134459 It has a very long half life, though I can't give you specifics. The dose and how long you were on it does factor in. Your doctor should be able to help you with your questions on this.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn Anyone out there that can feel me in on Ultracet experiences? My doctor put me on this instead of Hydrocodone today and said that since I take Effexor XR that there is a possibility of seizures. I have researched this since and have read all the medical info but would like to hear from real people and their experiences. 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.
Avatar f tn I am new to this group and want to know what are normal and abnormal symptoms of withdrawl from tramadol / ultracet. My history is this. I was having severe chronic pain. My doctors at first did not believe me but eventually it was discovered that I had Fibro Myalgia Rheumatic (FMR). Fine, then my rheumatologist gave me the ultracet max 8 a day. After a couple years he cut me loose to have my PCP do the honors as it were. My PCP nearly fainted when he saw how much I was allowed.
Avatar n tn ultracet it highly addictive as well. The withdrawl is VERY bad .
Avatar m tn RLS is often more severe with tram wd than with narcotic wd..tram has along half life compared to oxy or hydro so wd from trams lasts alot longer as well For a drug that provides very little pain relief..this drug is too risky to even bother with if addiction is an issue..Being a chronic painer..and an addict as well...and i HAD to choose btw oxy or hydro verses tramadol/I would choose oxy or hydro cos at least there is some sort of pain relief available/only for a while due to tolerence...
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar n tn Congrats on getting your life back!! You are half way there...Don't give up...They gave you some very good advice....For me the RLS was the worst , I had to soak in hot water, then wrap my calves with ace bandages some nights...Sleep is the last to come, so if you can nap during the day, that would be great.....Look at the health pages and try to get the amino , vitamins, etc.....We are here for you....Try to use the immodium AD liquid for the dirreahea....
Avatar f tn I have been taking this drug for about 3 years. I have tappered off to 1- 11/2 pills a day. Last night was my LAST 1/2. I guess my question is how long can I expect to feel like crap?? I have a list of things OTC that should help from reading other posts. The feeling of being distracted and in pain?? How long does that take to clear up. And also when can I expect the worst of all the withdrawels. My last half pill was around 9 pm?? I am scared to DEATH of what's about to happen.
Avatar f tn i just went to the doctor, and he gave me ultracet. does this work for pain and help withdrawl from hydros?
Avatar m tn Ultracet needs to be tapered. How much were you taking a day?
Avatar f tn 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).
2080475 tn?1332126191 decided to quit taking it on a monday felt fine all week untill sun when i went into serious withdrawl! so as far as half life im not sure? but you can bet i was back on it mon! so i guess it was in my system for 6 days after i stopped. p.s.

1071153 tn?1255369215 why did I stop Ultracet and let it get this far? I keep telling my self I should just go back on the Ultracet. I have been completely blind sinded by this WD's. Nothing physical besides minor issues, but these mental and emotionally feelings are rocking my world. I am so depressed. Depression wasn't even in my vocab. I find the optimisitc side of everything. I can't stand feeling this way and I know with the drop of one pill it will all go away.
