Guest guest Posted November 19, 2010 Report Share Posted November 19, 2010 I don't really know anything about Ultram. Because of taking Darvocet for so many years, I never really looked into anything else similar.........guess it is time to do some research. I will continue taking what I have of my Darvocet and I even have a refill for 90 days left. I will try to get something else soon tho. Thanks for all the info Hugs Pat in Southern Oregon Bureau Alvarez ________________________________ From: " rascalsniche@...

They had not heard of the FDA recalling Darvocet yet but she nurse was looking it up. Hope others can get their drs to call another pain med for them too.

It is a good drug and does help the pain depending. For me it takes the edge off at 50mg but if I'm in some serious pain then I have to take 50mg and wait an hour and take 50mg more which is what my dr told me to do if I'm going into a flare. He wants me on what is called the lowest dose possible to get the right effects from the drug. Tramadol/ultram is a non-narcotic pain medication and can be combined only with acetominophen. I hope that helps some of you who are making the switch from darvocet to ultram. I'm sorry that the FDA and discontinued it. Not sure why they have, will has my pharmacist buddy this week. > My pcp called and he's prescribing me Ultram in place of the darvocet. > They had not heard of the FDA recalling Darvocet yet but she nurse was > looking it up. > > Hope others can get their drs to call another pain med for them too. > > Hugs..a > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
