I seem to like the Darvocets better although I feel I need to take more pill for pill than the tramadol to get the pain relief for my Cronic back pain
Which is stronger tramadol or Darvocet n/100's?

You seem to have answered your own question. They are very different drugs, and considering how different we all are, the one that works best for you is the stronger one. I hope you know both are addictive. Al, too often docs tell us Tramadol is not addictive. But it is, I have known may people who were hopelessly hooked on it.
But I thought Darvocet was taken off the market. I thought they weren't even available anymore? Or maybe you aren't in the USA? I'm curious. I always liked Darvocet too.

Tramadol is a very very strange little drug for many many reasons. One of the many oddities of Tramadol is that it turns out that it as well as Codeine are metabolized and changed into a form that then works as a pain killing Opioid. Strangely enough, the specific process of metabolizing the drug varies in different people. Some people are very good at metabolizing Tramadol and Codeine, and others are totally unable to, giving absolutely no pain killing properties. So really, Tramadol is too strange of a drug to say how effective it truly is.

Hey jk,
You sound like me, only my wonder drug has been Buprenorphine. I had a terrible time with Methadone, twice now. Last winter, and in 1997. I'll just say my body and Methadone don't get along.
But Bupe has made many things that ail me go into remission. I can't say it cured them because last year I was taken off Bupe and put on short term opiates. As the year progressed, many things I thought were gone for good all came back. So even if I was inclined to put myself through the nightmare of getting off Bupe and all opiates, I'd have a return of many undesirable conditions. So like you, I don't even want to think about it.

Yes darvocet was pulled off the market because it was causing heart problems. Whenever I had pain from my kidney stint, darvocet worked so good but thn they stopped it so I was done :( but they are very different. Darvocet and tramadol work differently. Its whatever helps you
