Common Questions and Answers about Difference between ultracet and ultram

ultracet

Avatar m tn What's the difference between Ultram ER and Tramadol? I've been taking/abusing Ultram ER 200mg. To get off these things my Dr switched me to Tramadol 50mg. 1-2 4 times daily w/2 extra strength Tylenol. I'm feeling lethargic. I slept fine but I'm just tired and I'm jumpy. For those who have not read my journal this all started after being struck by lighting in June. I'm assuming what I'm felling is a difference between Ultram and Tramadol.
Avatar f tn If you take 10 ultracet per day you'll be getting 3250 mg of tylenol, the maximum therapeutic dose if 4000 mg per day. So you should make sure you don't exceed the max dose prescribed by your doctor and make sure you don't exceed 4000 mg per day and I would recommend getting your liver checked also here and there. 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).
901372 tn?1242309047 Ultracet is NOT Ultram. Ultram does NOT contain Tylenol. Get your facts correct!!! Ultracet is Ultram + Tylenol. Ultram is Tramadol period - NO TYLENOL!!!!
Avatar m tn good drug and bad drug both are addictive. Hrdo gives more pain releif with less bad effects but both have them. Tramadol ultram is just no good.
Avatar m tn They cannot be quit cold turkey - as you risk seizures. Search this site for Ultram/Ultracet and you will find lots of info.
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).
Avatar n tn Is there a formula for weaning yourself off ultracet? Am taking 5-6 a day for 3 years.What can I expect?
Avatar n tn Ultram (Tramadol) is going to do nothing but prolong your withdrawals. Tramadol, whether it's in Ultram, Ultracet, or Ultram ER, is a nasty drug to detox from. It has properties that make it almost like a benzo and an opiate combined into one little nasty pill. There's things to take that are not addictive that can help with withdrawal symptoms such as clonidine (Catapres) and hydroxyzine (Vistaril, Atarax). Please, steer clear of the Ultram.
Avatar m tn Ultram is nothing more than the Brand name for Tramadol and Ultram ER is a timed release of Tramadol. Ultracet is merely Tramdol and Tylenol in the same pill.
348629 tn?1212325673 FYI though, I was on Effexor XR 300mg and the max dose of tramadol (active ingredient in ultram) 400mg for two month and I did not have any problems. Your doc should be aware of this though and monitor you for symptoms of too much serotonin. Methadone is addictive in it own right, so be careful if you go that route.
954920 tn?1254429338 tram and ultram are not different. ultracet has has tylenol and tram. tramadol is just tramadol .
Avatar n tn Then I read about how hard ultram was to withdraw from before I took the first pill and so I made the decision that I would cold turkey from the hydro and skip the ultram. Now I am relearning how to deal with pain. I used to seriously think Ibuprofen was "water" and could not help my pain in the least. But amazingly it does I think more good pain wise than the hydros. It just took giving it a chance to see and I am dealing with nerve pain so that is working for me.
Avatar f tn m in favor of strong pain meds when needed but not in favor of ultram unles it works well and you will stay on it for life. It is less potent and is harder to get off of than opiates probably because of it's antidepressant features.
Avatar m tn is tramadol ultram and ultracet all the same an is it as the phramiscits see it non norcotic?
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn IVE BEEN TAKEING ULTRACET ABOUT 20 OR MORE A DAY FOR ABOUT A MONTH RAN OUT THIS MORNIGN I USUALLY WAKE UP AND TAKE 10 RIGHT AWAY IM OUT AND IM VERY NERVOUS FEELING AND SHACKY AND MY STOMACH HURTS AND I HAVE SEVER CRAVEING WHATS GOING TO HAPPEN TO ME !!!!
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...
Avatar f tn is ultracet a combo of ultram and loracet?....some peopl r different i guess....like i could take my percosets as prescribed but oxycontin i couldnt......and it takes time to get addicted......as u know since u have been addicted to vicodin......beware....
Avatar f tn The vicodin is stronger than ultram or ultracet. I was on Ultram initially and then was increased to vicodin. I recommend that you ask your doctor to let you go back to taking the vicodin. The reason your doctor let you try the Ultram so easily is because it is not a controlled substance (i.e., it makes her job easier). You shouldn't expect any more pain relief than you are already experiencing on the Ultram. Ultram ACTS like a narcotic but it is not a pure opioid agonist.
Avatar f tn ultracet has acetominophen (tylenol) in them, and the tramadol doesnt. They can come in varying dosages. Why is he taking them? Does he want to quit? Tram is a dangerous drug to take and to stop, you have to taper down slowly or you could have seizures. You can have seizures from takign too many as well. How long has he been on them?
446097 tn?1223694666 Well I relapsed a couple of weeks ago but tapered my norcos over the weeked and am now on day 2 clean (yay for me). 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.
Avatar f tn I just wanted to ask you about your post here about Tramadol/Ultracet.... I have been taking 3/4 to 1 and 1/2 pill a day for about 2 months now, and I am 6 months pregnant. My back Dr. prescribed them to me last year and I had some left over, I take them because of my chronic back pain. My OB doesn't know I take them, she knows I did for almost 2 months before i knew I was pregnant and said to stop and gave me one script for a few Darvocet instead....
Avatar n tn 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?
Avatar m tn lesa May 26, 2010 — The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced yesterday that it has added a warning of suicide risk to the labels of tramadol hydrochloride (Ultram) and tramadol hydrochloride/acetaminophen (Ultracet).
Avatar f tn i just went to the doctor, and he gave me ultracet. does this work for pain and help withdrawl from hydros?
