ultracet

Avatar f tn Here is an old thread talking about the differences between Ultram (which is just tramadol) vs. Ultracet (which is lower dose tram with added acet). Hope it is helpful: http://www.medhelp.
Avatar f tn From what a lot of you have said, the Ultracet scares me more than the hydrocodone. I have been on it and have not had to up the dosage to get the relief I need at this point. It sounds like the Ultracet is more addictive and you tend to have to up the doasage quicker. I am having another procedure done on my neck next week and I plan to discuss a lot of your comments and suggestions with them. Thank you so much for sharing with me.
Avatar n tn I am a music minister in an Evangelical Bible Church and have just had my second back surgery. My back feels great! I had unbearable pain for only a year (not much compared to some of the posters on here (7+ years of back pain, how do you do it?)). Throughout my year of pain, my doctor prescribed me hydrocodone (from 5's to eventually 10's) and tramadol 50mg (which I took with tylenol 50/500 - making it basically generic ultracet).
Avatar f tn The meds that they have you on are really not for the control of anything more than minor pain. If more reparative surgery is not an option, it sounds like your condition has progressed to the point where you are going to need to go to an actual pain management doctor, to get meds that most general practitioners are not comfortable prescribing. Ultracet is not for severe pain even though it is listed as such. Not to mention that it is as addictive as any narcotic.
446097 tn?1223694666 The problem is I have a MAJOR job interview today and am not feeling well. chills, runny nose, bathroom, etc. I found an Ultracet lying around. Will this help me get through today? I really need to bring my A game.
398893 tn?1201315707 t notice when i stopped taking it, but I have noticed the dissappearance of the hydro and the ultracet *even though i hate ultracet, I became dependent on it before i knew what was going on*my body did** OK my question is this, What is a good continual release medication to use for Constant pain.....I only know about the medications I have used and not much else, IF anyone has any advice for me PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE reply.
Avatar f tn question: if 1 mg of suboxone is equal to 20-30 mgs of hydrocodone would that be the same for oxycontin would 1 mg of sub be equal to 20-30 mgs oxy then?
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 f tn The sweats are most likely withdrawls from the hydrocodone. Im not farmiliar with tramadol or if its addicting. I heard tho ultracet wasnt addictive like hydrocodone but I read on here somewhere where someone was addicted to it. I would read up on here of peoples storries about teh tramadol and see what u find. How long have u been off the hydrocodone?
Avatar n tn My 77 year old mother has been using Hydrocodone APAP 10/325 or 10/500mg for many years to take the edge off of severe RA. Her dosage is 1/1 PO TID which she has been very compliant and adheres to faithfully. During her last lab visit her M.D. had ordered a UDS along with the other labs. Her anxiolytic medication XANAX came back pusitive yet her opiate panel came back clean.
Avatar n tn My neurosurgeon sent me to a pain specialist doctor and he put me on ultracet - a hydrocodone - apap 3,75 & 325 mg. to help control the pain until my surgery date. That helped me a lot with the pain and the headaches. I could not have made it through waiting for my surgery with out it. He also gave me Ibuprophen pain patches for my neck that helped. Not sure if this helps you any but I would ask your surgeon about it.
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...
403399 tn?1201833095 The only reason why Tramadol (Ultracet, Ultram, etc.) is not considered a narcotic is because at the moment it is unscheduled in the USA and pretty much everywhere else. It is fairly new being researched and first put on the market in the 90's.
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 m tn was doing some reading and it seems the dol hcl is like the hydrocodone and the regular dol is like ultram--- however the ultram er is totally different than the regular ultram??? anyone know the diff on these nightmares??
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 n tn ultracet it highly addictive as well. The withdrawl is VERY bad .
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 quit hydrocodone with a friend..we did the WD thing together..she did much better as she was on tramadol XR...a week or so later..she told me she was abusing them/chewing them and quit....she withdrew again for a few days and this time she got RLS...she made it tho,,,I have those and have take them here and there for back pain since I quit the lortabs...I do not get high off of them but am very scared of them..
Avatar n tn Not really any difference. Vicoprofen has Ibuprofen with the Hydrocodone. Vicodin has Tylenol. Strength would be the same if they both were the same dose.
Avatar m tn ...I dont understand why i DO NOT feel like total ****. Years of fear of detox and withdrawals has constructed some kind of horrible expectation that has yet to come to fruition. Yesterday, day 1, at about 20 or so hours in i felt tired and apathetic and only managed to get the bare minimum of work done. Some very light nausea and stomach grumblings .... as if i was hit with the very beginning phases of a flu.
Avatar f tn I'm not familiar with hydro, you mean hydrocodone?This is a short acting medium strength opiate that is very addictive most short actings are used for breakthru only till the pain is controlled by a proper dose of slow release.You should be taking them 3 times a day to control the pain then he should switch you to SR's of equal strength.Twice a day allows 8 hours of med free time and the pain builds up again.
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.
