   tramadol addiction (Addiction & Recovery board)

17th September 2007
ULTRACET has acetaminophen in it, ULTRAM does not, I was on Ultracet, but was taken off and put on the Tramadol, because my Dr was concerned with the acetaminophen in the ultracet.

I myself have no problems with the Tramadol, I do however have an addiction to Norco and now take Tramadol through my Pain Management Dr.

I have heard the withdrawals are worse than the opiate withdrawals, but if you do a search there are many on this board that have made it, the people here are awesome, they have wonderful advice and the support system you will find here, is second to none.

You've already succeeded with the first step, admitting your problem, take it slow, take it easy , you didn't go from one pill to thirty in a day and you wont be able to stop in a day, but the outcome is so worth the fight...

we are all here if you need us...welcome..

Still just

****pedia says that: Tramadol is usually marketed as the hydrochloride salt (tramadol hydrochloride) and is available in both injectable (intravenous and/or intramuscular) and oral preparations. It is also available in conjunction with paracetamol (acetaminophen).

lol... so, whatevah! :D

Isn't Ultracet just Tramadol w/tylenol, then?

I'm just going from what my doctor had told me when I was on it, that's all. No big deal. If she is taking something with the acetaminophen in it, then she needs to be aware that it is very harmful and can even be fatal. Didn't want to get in a label debate with anyone. ;)

Anyway, I remember one being different from the other, too. The Ultracet, I believe, gave a certain euphoric feeling (though it paled in comparison to any real narcotic pain meds) when I was taking it, while the other version did not, or at least that is the way I recal. I think it was the Ultracet then that I had the withdrawals from when I quit CT.
