Actually tylenol isn't in tramadol, it is only in ultracet. Ultram is without tylenol. So if you are on the combo version, stay away from acetominophen containing products. But I just take tramadol, no tylenol in it, so I can take up to 1000 mg of acetominophen daily. I try not to though, just because its pretty useless for me. My dr recommended I take ibuprofen, an 800 mg prescription strength, when I need it for inflammation or breakthru aches and pains.

Careful with Tramadol (Ultram) it is addictive, please talk with your doc. for more details.

You are absolutely correct. You need to be cautious and follow precisely ALL dosing instructions for Tramadol. In excess amounts, seizure risk is high, and withdrawal can become horrible if you take tramadol for an extended period of time and do not taper off of it. Most doctors either don't realize or don't tell you that the risk of dependence with tramadol is very high, meaning your body will eventually need a larger dose to get the same effect. While dependence is NOT the same as addiction, it can lead to some of the same consequences, so please just be careful with it, and use the correct dosage for the length of time prescribed. Best wishes!!!

I copied this for your information. There are so many misconceptions about whether or not Tramodol is an opioid pain reliever.
"Tramadol belongs to the group of medicines called opioid analgesics (narcotics). It acts in the central nervous system (CNS) to relieve pain. When tramadol is used for a long time, it may become habit-forming (causing mental or physical dependence). Physical dependence may lead to side effects when you stop taking the medicine. Since tramadol and acetaminophen is only used for the short-term relief of pain, physical dependence will probably not occur."
