Guest guest Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Ultram made me feel funny too. No nausea, but otherwise as described. Jenn Sent from my iPhone Yes , it made me nauseated with or without food. Shaky and " hyped up " like withdrawal started about an hour before the next dose was due. Subject: Tramadol and Tylenol To: tetheredspinalcord Date: Wednesday, March 2, 2011, 4:07 PM I'm now on my 6th pain med trial. 50mg Tramadol and 500mg Tylenol 4x a day. I've only been on it for 1 1/2 days so we'll see. At least my pain hasn't gone UP like it did on the Nortriptyline. It felt like my nerves were being electrocuted! I called the Dr. after 2 days and he said to give it a week. I stopped on day 4 because the pain was so bad. My pain also skyrocketed on Gabapentin. The Dr. theorizes that I'm allergic to those branches of pain meds. Has anyone else taken Tramadol and Tylenol together for pain management? If so, how did it go?

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 No one should take 500mg Tylenol 4x day everyday. Not good for ur liver. That's y when someone needs chronic pain control a doc should change the patient over to the meds that don't contain Tylenol.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Good point! I had a patient with end stage renal disease on dialysis because of taking too much tylenol, it affects the kidneys too!

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Hi Jodi, I did take Tramadol and Tylenol together AND Neurontin at the same time.The Tramadol is supposed to be the big brother of Ultram. Ultram did nothing for me, Tramadol worked for the 1st 3 days and then it was all over I hope you continue to do well on it. If you research Tramadol you will find (unfortunately) that it is a VERY expensive drug and for most people other protocols worked better. Actually this should not even be classified as a Class II, according to most. What protocols have you tried? I have been on a lot of meds. What works for me is 45mg of Extended release morphine x 3 a day, 15mg immediate release Morphine x 1-3 a day, Neurontin 1200MG x 3, Baclofen 20mg (at night). Take care and stay pain free Subject: Tramadol and Tylenol To: tetheredspinalcord Date: Wednesday, March 2, 2011, 4:07 PM  I'm now on my 6th pain med trial. 50mg Tramadol and 500mg Tylenol 4x a day.

Normally 50 mg tablets. Ultraset is the same as 12.5 mg Ultram + 375 mg tylenol in same tab. I took Ultracet for about 5 years + 2 tylenol PM at night. Then the 'new tylenol rules' came out (no more than 4---500 mg tabs day ???) so my doc changed me to tramadol 50 mg prn no more than 2 x day. I exercise every day and work out 3 x week, so it is for minor muscle aches and joint pains when barometric pressure is <30 mb. WOW, 1200 mg baclofen would knock me on my butt! I am 6-1 220#, my doc says 80 mg (8 - 10 mg tabs) is the max I should take in any 24 hr period. I was going to school at the time and baclofen + school did not work - in a daze, could not think. So thats when I had a baclofen pump put in, see archives in year 2000. In 2007 I no longer need the pump, the battery alarm was going off so it was removed. Thats in the archives too, I have been on here since 1998 - before it was a yahoo group. For those that know me, I am fine, a bit better each year, married now (2007), keep as busy as possible, graduated college, still live in Colorado, still unemployed, pt 3 x week, getting stronger, still use walker and wheelchair as appropriate. Thanks to Kathy M for the suggestion, still take 20 mg clonazepam (klonopin) at night to prevent those occasional muscle spasms.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 They r the same. Ultram is the brand & Tramadol the generic. That is a LOT of Baclofen. I've never heard of anyone taking more than about 120 mg. I take 20 mg up to 4 x day, but usually just twice. I know a lot of people that use Tylenol PM to put them to sleep. But if u just want it to put u to sleep, u r better off taking a benadryl. That is the PM component of Tylenol PM. Sent from my iPhone Tramadol & Ultram are the same thing. Normally 50 mg tablets. Ultraset is the same as 12.5 mg Ultram + 375 mg tylenol in same tab. I took Ultracet for about 5 years + 2 tylenol PM at night.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 It was me, but I had it under a different name... did not want me to take the generic. Great that it's working for you Subject: Tramadol and Tylenol To: tetheredspinalcord Date: Wednesday, March 9, 2011, 3:39 PM Â Thanks everyone for your replies! I'm now taking 325 mg Tylenol with the 50 mg Tramadol 4x daily. I didn't think it was helping all that much til I missed a dose last night. Holy cow, it hurt! And I got lightheaded/headachy, as if I was going through withdrawal. Apparently it's helping to a certain degree but it's not great. I do take 1/2 a Tylenol PM (a whole pill knocks me OUT) so that helped. I'm going to stay on the meds til I see the Dr at the end of the month. Someone mentioned getting nauseous. I started out taking it with food but I can take it without and it has no effect on me, luckily. Someone also mentioned the high cost of Tramadol. With my medical plan, generics only cost $5 a prescription so it would be awesome if I could find a dosage that works. Has anyone taken more than 50 mg Tramadol? Would Ultram work better? Thanks again! Jodi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
