Common Questions and Answers about Ultracet vs hydrocodone

ultracet

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.
I have a degree in psychology and know alot about drugs from the classes I took in school and my street abuse for over 17 years. Tramadol, better known as Ultram or Ultracet (Ultracet has acetominophen in it whereas Ultram does not) is a relatively new pain killer. The funny thing is techincally it is not classified as an opiate drug, but it works on your opiate brain receptors.
gave perscribed me Hydrocodone as well as the Hydrocodone that i was already getting from my Neurologist. I started using them more often (vs. taking them "as needed") and I realized that I couldnt function on a daily basis if I didnt have them. This past Christmas (December '06) I somehow managed to go through 8 bottles of Hydrocodone (qty. 20 - 10/325) in less than 3 weeks.

Hi. Of course I am here because I was researching how to quit taking hydrocodone. It all started innocently...doesn't it always? I need support. I think I can do the taper. It is the MENTAL that is the problem. I THINK I need more. I think it calms my nerves. I think it makes my life better. It doesn't. I don't know about the physical withdraws. I have read about them and yes that scares me since I can not take off work or quit life to lay in bed and suffer.
I'm not familiar with oxycontin but I can tell you about my experience with Hydrocodone 10/325--12-14 per day for several years! It seems you have the right ingredients to begin your detox--I had used xanax in the past and I found that it did help--but none the less you feel like someone ran over you with a truck! If you have read the thomas recipe I hope you have the 5-7 days needed to get the demons out of your system!
I have been addicted to hydrocodone on and off for the past three years. (100 mg) per day. I have recently went through detox, and am wondering how long it will take before the strong cravings stop. I know I need a plan of recovery, and am working on that right now. Can anyone suggest things to do to help me get through this?
I xan tell you 1st hand that vicodin,percocet, morphine,oxycotin, hydrocodone,and ultram are addicting. My fiance' is addicted to hydrocodone,vicodin and percocet,and I take ultram for pain in my thumb. Whatever you choose to use for pain management, talk to your doctor about everything and if you feel you are becoming addicted to any of it, let the doctor know, so you wont have to go through what my fiance' goes through everyday.
i have had some small results with aceamtaphine extra strength, i have had no results with asprin. i have used ultram and ultracet, the only thing i found it good for was withdrawls from vikes and perc's. i really don't like the way ultram makes me feel. so i never got hooked on it. thanks for your input.
