Ultracet (acetaminophen / tramadol) "80% effective for an old man (age 84) pain -- back, legs, prostate flare-ups that typically come on at the end of the day. One tablet reliably kicks in at about 45 min and lasts for 12-18 hours. Often supplement with an extra 500 mg of Tylenol. Slight constipation side effect. Easier sleep, especially with a booster of a microdose of marijuana at bedtime. Been using for a year or more with no diminution of effectiveness. Swimming or 45 min supervised resistance training is equally effective, but one is not always up to it, in which case this medicine does the trick."

"I have taken tramadol off an on for years. Everybody is different and everybody has different pain and different tolerances. Tramadol will help minor pain. For me it 50mg did nothing so had to take it 3 times a day I felt some relief not pain medicine for me though! But it is better than nothing everybody has their own pain levels & tramadol can treat those with minor pains & for some people who can’t handle the stronger pain pills."

"I’ve had an extracted tooth before but this was the first time I’d been given Tramadol/Acetaminophen for pain afterward. I literally called the pharmacist crying my head off asking what else could I take for the pain! I don’t remember what if been given in the past; (T-3) maybe, but THIS doesn’t work at all like whatever I’d had before! I counted on this medicine to get me through the healing peacefully. It has not."

"I have taken it for 2 issues over last 2 years. First was a lower disc, second was a pinched nerve in neck so upper disc. Without it I could not function. First time was 6 pills a day for 2 months. Second was 3 pills a day for 4 weeks as the pinched nerve needed less. Nothing else allowed me to move, work, sleep. Without it with the disc issue I could not stand. I must say coming off was hard. I went slowly down to 1 and stopped but could not sleep for 4 to 6 weeks. Feels like you drank 10 coffees before bed. Pulse in the 90s, I am norm of 65 pulse. It is worth it for allowing me to function but I wish there was some way to avoid the withdrawral as In fear I will need again someday. Sleeping pills and other things did not help."

"This medication did not help me with my pain, peroid. I took up to 400mg at once and still no relief but it did make me feel nauseated and gave me a headache. It's synthetic and really more like a weak antidepressant. I was prescribed it to alternate with my Hydrocodone 10mg tabs. I stopped my Norco for a 2 week period to give Tramadol a chance but it never worked. This stuff is rubish! No it's not equal to Codeine. I have taken Codeine and Tramadol is entirely different in effect. Sorry I'll stick to true Morphine based pain meds like Codeine, Hydrocodone, Oxycodone, etc. Even synthetic Darvocet worked better than this stuff!"

"I have had severe knee pain since I broke my femur about 2 1/2 year ago. My doctor prescribed tramadol/acetaminophen and it worked really well. Since then I have been prescribed Tramadol 100mg, time release 3 times per day. On it's own tramadol does not work as well for me. Clearly the Tramacet 3.27 is better for my joint pain."

Ultracet (acetaminophen / tramadol) "Take this when taking a triptan for headache pain, this is to bring baseline pain level down a few notches if I was late taking my regular abortive it usually won't work unless I can get a control on the pain, Ultracet is mildly okay at this, just a trial for headache pain as I've tried many others, but not too bad to have sometimes, can be somewhat effective."

"I have suffered from moderate to severe back pain for 15 years. I have a disk herniation and pinched nerve. Lots of pain all day. Nothing relieves it. I have been on tramadol 50mg. After 4 years on the Tram became addicted. I loved it bcause i could work like hell on it. Pain gone. Took anywhere from 100-400mg a day. I had doc take me off. Took some of my wife's here and there. I call my doc and told her She HAD to give me something i was missing work a lot and i just can't go without something for the bad days. She give me ultracet. Literally does almost nothing for me but makes me Nauseated. Maybe it dont work because I been taking tram up until she gave it to me? Built a High tolerance?"

Ultracet (acetaminophen / tramadol) "I used Ultracet 0.4 mg for my abdominal pain. But it's not very useful to me. I took one Ultracet before the pain worsened but still not provided a good relief to me. I went to the hospital after 4 hours as my pain increased gradually."

"Taken after laparoscopic ovarian cyst removal with torsion. I usually can only tolerate toradol for pain due to severe vomiting that occurs with strong pain meds. I took 4 mg of Zofran 15 mins prior on a full stomach and the incision pain lessened about 20 mins later, plus no intestinal side effects. Highly recommend taking with anti nausea if your stomach can't tolerate it alone."

"I've been using the red capsules for several years with good results. Recently I was given the beige capsules by amneal and they make me sick and do not reduce my pain. There were a few white ones mixed in with the others which also worked. I now have a bottle of beige ones which are worthless unless you want to feel worse. And, I am unable to get any others because they're controlled and the pharmacy says beige is all they can get from their supplier.."
