is tramadol and ultram the same thing

I just know I will take a lot more Percocets if I have them than take the Ultram because it is not the same feeling. The Ultram just makes you feel normal while you are withdrawing. At least that is my experience.

but they all contain tylenol///ultracet is tam with tylenol....Ultram is just tramadol///tramadol is the generic name and Ultam is a brand name Trams do have both an AD quality causing increased seratonin/which is the same action as many popular ADs...zoloft, lexapro, prozac paxil, celexa...but it is an intense immediate effect with trams and these other ADs have to build up over time to help depression...

Avis knows all about trams but emilypost knows alot too and I think shes around today. the best thing to do is to taper the vics do u think u could do that?

m sure you know that tramadol is ultram without the ibuprophen or whatever they mix with tramadol to make ultram. That's just the way it affects me, though, I'm sure that as with most other drugs it affects different people different ways.

d rather go CT from 8 vicodin then just 3 tramadol (personal experience). I find the worse part being depression - it is crushing and lasts a long time. I ended up back on my doc just trying to get out of the WD hell brought on by tramadol.

Please continue to read the tramadol stories and please go to the forum littlebit667 gave u on the tramadol recovery center. I would still be on this had I not come accross the medhelp site by accident. I was looking for info on a medication my mom was given and I kept seeing the word tramadol. I am slowly tapering off of it. I never got a high either and that's what *****. If I am going to suffer from withdrawl, you would of thought I got something out of it LOL!!

using one addictive drug to get off another is a very bad idea the last thing you want to do is end up addicted to the tram turst me I have been there its not pretty ...

tramadol is very addicting and very bad coming off of. Tramadol is a helpfull pain releiveing med, but if you have addiction issues already I would suggest you stay away from it. I once took(abused) it for onlly like 2 weeks or so and whe i quit I had w/ds----so that just goes to show you taht it doesnt taake to long for them to impact you. Please stay away from them if you truely have no desire to go back down that path.

Until he realizes there is a problem though the only thing you can do is along with other family or friends confront him and most likely that will cause a whole new set of problems such as anger and resentment. You @ this point have to think of you. Speend some time away from him and let him know you are not going to just watch him kill himself this way.

First of all, who ever told you tramadol (also known as Ultram) is non-narcotic is telling you wrong. Ultram is a controlled medication in some states and is sent to pharmacies in the "controlled tote" with the Lortab and Darvocet N100. It can be JUST as addicting as Lortab (tramadol works like an opiate and restricts the blood vessels in the brain that sensor pain like Lortab or Darvocet) the addiction usually starts because of the "high feeling" obtained from opiates.

Most doctors know better than to give someone who has an addictive problem ultram. The docs who don't know are out of the loop and an out of the loop doc in dangerous. I'd much rather see an addict take a true opiate for a short time than this garbage.

m surprised that your physician has prescribed you vicodin and ultram together as that is a high dosage of pain medications. The bumps you are experiencing is likely an allergic reaction, so please be sure to mention this side-effect to your doctor. I hope she can work with you and find a combination that will relieve the pain. I certainly can relate to feeling like a pin cushion. Take care of yourself and keep us updated.

I have a question if you dont mind, about your past ultram abuse. You see, i am going throught the same thing with tramadol, I have only been using for about 3 months, but my addiction escalated quickly. I am at about 24 pills a day. Right now, and this past past weekend I redused it to 4 pills. (ya, i know. WHAT A DROP)I feel real bad. You know with the WDs. I hate myself for doing this to myself, I hate that my family, and my boys had to see this.

This is also a literal stage,a forum where real people are here going through the same thing. And we all want the same thing. Unfortunately everyone is different even if the addiction is exactly the same. Drinking lots of water with lots of lemon juice. When I say a lot I mean a lot. People say exercise but I personally could only exercise my mouth by complaining. I'm not going to sugar coat this, tonight & tomorrow are going to be very rough.

I have always taken the prescribed amount. On the Ultram, that amount is 1- 50mg tablet per day, or I am allowed to take a second one if needed when I have more pain. On most days, all I ever take is 1 pill of Ultram. On the Restoril, I've taken 1 a night for the past 4 yrs and before that I was on Ambien, and before that Lunesta. Way back when I was on Ambien, I tried to skip it and get by with taking a Benedryl and it basically had no effect on my ability to be able to sleep.

But, I checked with our nurse and she asked how your are trying to d-tox from it? Tramadol and Ultram are the same drugs. They also have Ultram ER which is the extended released. It is a controlled substance. A lot of PM docs use this for patients to take all day long, every day. My employer and doc tried to put me on Ultram ER and I refused to take it. Good luck and if you need any suggestions for the d-tox, let me know and I will check.

I was able to control the dose combard to the the Ultram. Ultram is the same as Tramadol except that you only take one pill with Ultram...and you have to wait for results. While you are severe pain, that is a long time to wait especially since vicodin and tramadol works faster. Since you will figure that out, you will find yourself taking more ultram just to make sure that you can have the least amount of pain possibe. I felt myself taking another Ultram because the pain was blinding.

Yes being that you are an addict tramadol is the worst thing you can take its highly addicting and hell to come off on .

ultram is tramadol...it is very addictive and some even say the w/ds are worse than hydros. they have an anti depressant quality, they ppl seem to really like. i have never taken it, but it was avisgs' doc...check out her journals she has good info on them there...also you can not stop them c/t you have to ween off them due to the risk of seizure...be careful and do your homework before taking them.

Her husband was addicted to oxycontin and the doctor knows this so this is the only pain medication he will prescribe her because it is not on the same level as the opiate pain killers that so many become addicted to and to not have anything stronger in the house with a former pain pill addict. So I wouldn't worry to much about it...it's not anything near what the other opiate pain pills are capable of.

When I take the Ultram, I won't have any withdrawal at all but if I didn't have any percocets or Ultram, I would go right into opiate withdrawal. The good part of the tramadol though is I don't crave them the way I want the Percocets.

watch out for the ultram, it is very addicting and the w/ds are bad from those too. take a look in the health pages to the right, there are some really good tips for w/ds. you will find the thomas recipe and the aminos protocols..they help alot. keep posting it helps too...also get exercise it is the best thing i did. start with just walking a short distance and build up...you will be amazed...
