Ultracet tramadol

Common Questions and Answers about Ultracet tramadol

ultracet

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 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 m tn ing on opiates) throws the opiates off of the receptors and puts you into withdrawal and blocks the binding of opiates to the receptors. Ultracet is tramadol and tylenol. Tramadol is addictive, though, in that it can actually give you seizures if you suddenly stop taking it. Everyone reacts differently to medication, but I've never heard of anyone being signifigantly eased of pain by an Ultracet. Best of luck with the PT! That's probably your best shot.
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 f tn Ultracet is Tramadol and acetaminophen. Tramadol is highly addictive and a bear to quit. Those on Tramadol should taper off of it. It is a synthetic opiate. Most here would not recommend it for w/d.
Avatar f tn 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. I made sure to tell my friend to pass the word on that this drug was hardly new and definately wasn't a "new darvocet." Also, my mom is seeing a pain management dr. so she can get epidural steroid injections soon. She had told her dr.
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 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 s amazing to me that there are still doctors out there telling people that Tramadol is not addictive. Ultracet is Tramadol and Acetaminophen. Your husband is a WISE man to question this before he takes it! Congrats to him on 7 yrs Clean!!! If he is able to tolerate NSAIDS, he could take those or just acetaminophen (w/o the synthetic opioid, i.e. tramadol). I find that Advil Liqui-Gel Capsules work the best for me and there are generic versions of this too at Walmart or Walgreens.
Avatar n tn I take tramadol for pain in my neck and back. Since I started I have been constipated. Does tramadol cause this? I try to go without laxatives but when I get to the 6th day, I am so uncomfortable that I resort to the laxative. Is this safe for me to do? I have tried metamucil, fruit, stool softeners etc. Nothing works except enema's or stimulant laxatives.
Avatar f tn I am in SO much pain!! The doctor did prescribe Tramadol 50 mg instead of Ultracet but it is not helping at all. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have tried moist heat, TENS unit, Lidoderm patches, Tramadol, Zanaflex, and even took some leftover hydrocodone 7.5 that I had. NOTHING is touching this TERRIBLE Pain! Can anyone offer any advice?
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.
898832 tn?1243968023 Havent taken them......the tapentadol sounds a great deal like tramadol...... it has been having some problems with being scheduled.....bouncing around between schedule II and schedule III - - - that will help decide how it is received.....
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?
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 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 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 I am new to this group and want to know what are normal and abnormal symptoms of withdrawl from tramadol / ultracet. My history is this. I was having severe chronic pain. My doctors at first did not believe me but eventually it was discovered that I had Fibro Myalgia Rheumatic (FMR). Fine, then my rheumatologist gave me the ultracet max 8 a day. After a couple years he cut me loose to have my PCP do the honors as it were. My PCP nearly fainted when he saw how much I was allowed.
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 m tn is tramadol ultram and ultracet all the same an is it as the phramiscits see it non norcotic?
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 m tn Ultracet needs to be tapered. How much were you taking a day?
