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?
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.
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 m tn Ultracet needs to be tapered. How much were you taking a day?
Avatar f tn don't start using the ultracet!!!! IT doesn't work worth **** and it is highly highly addictive, the docs tell you it isn't BUT IT IS and the withdrawls from them are terrible in case you was to ever run out before your refill..........
Avatar n tn s risky as it is hard on the stomach and I need to have periodic liver testing done, but it does work and I am able to function. Maybe your doc can give you an alternative, non-opiate for those occasional flare-ups. If he does, flush the trams and the oxys. Especially the trams. Be advised some medicos dispense Tramadol as it controls pain "but doesn't produce the high that vicodin and percocet and others do.
Avatar n tn ultracet it highly addictive as well. The withdrawl is VERY bad .
Avatar m tn I just got back from Dr, they want me to take ultracet anyone know anything about it, my back pain is getting worse, and I need something but dont need another addiction, I will be starting PT in the near furture a week or so, They are seting me up with a pain clinic and sending all my history and telling them that I do not want narc's. Does anyone know anything about ultracet. I will be gone for a few hours then I will go thur the replies, Thanks to all of you.
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 Hey any one awake yet....I have a question...the doc. now has put me on ultracet...it says 37.5 5/325....i had to take 2 yesterday over the cource of 12 hours...my questions is i'm reading that ppl are becoming addicted...i dont understand how....they dont make me feel high.....however the pain is better..not completely gone but better...so my ? is why are ppl getting addicted taking 10-15-20 a day if they dont get you high...can someone enlighten me.
Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar f tn In general, drugs such as Ultram (or tramadol) are not recommended during pregnancy or during breastfeeding because there is a lack of safety information. This does not mean that it will necessarily cause problems for the fetus or baby, but since the information is not known, it might. Animal studies have shown that the drug crosses to the developing fetus, but the danger to a developing human fetus is not known.
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.
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.
Avatar f tn Ultracet is a straight up 37.5 tramadol and 325 acitomitophene(sp?
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 n tn Hey, I am on day 3 and things arn't as bad as I thought, (so far) but I am using ultracet which is a non narcotic that my roommate had left over from a doc's visit! I am also using immodium and it seems to be making it easier on my ***! No offence with the language, hopefully? Anyhow, hang in there, I am! Zakk.....uhhhhhh! when does it stop?
Avatar f tn My friend and I were talking the other day and she said, "Oh, my mom said a lady at her prayer group said that there was "a new darvocet out on the market now." Of course I am more than curious since my mom just had to stop darvocet herself. My friend then tells me this "new darvocet" is called Ultracet! Can you believe this? I knew this was coming since darvocet was pulled by the FDA, now the drs. are going to start prescribing ultracet/ultram/tramadol alot more.
Avatar n tn My doc put me on Ultram after I asked to be put on a non narcotic so I could get off the hydros. 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.
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 How to get over this addiction to painkiller. I take 1-2 tablets every other day.
901372 tn?1242309047 Tramadol is no good!!!! It does a good job with constipation/stomach problems!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Avatar f tn I have been taking Tramadol for about two years and now I am having all sorts of stomach and intestinal problems. Could this be related to the Tramadol?
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 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).
401095 tn?1351391770 My doctor is wanting too change my medicine due too the fact that 30mg of oxycone 4x a day is getting hard too find.Will Kadian 60mg taken 2x a day work as good,if not does anyone know of anything that will help the same?
Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar n tn 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.
