I haven’t heard that taking Tylenol with it will enhance the effects. It would be great if it did! I personally DO NOT receive pain relief from Tylenol. I have migraines, arthritis and fibromyalgia.
Okay so I talk to my pharmacist and he told me and I cannot emphasize enough over this is that you cannot take more than one tramacet and one Tylenol 500mg extra strength the only reason I am typing this it's because I don't see very much information over the net so I wish the best of luck to you and hopefully this answers your question now if you were to ask me why it is because our livers were not designed to take that much Tylenol because tramacet already has acetaminophen so it will put a damper into your liver
My doctor is a young man who is very current on the latest drug situations and he has put me on 2-50 mg tablets of Tramadol and 6-500 mg Tylenol per day for my Osteoarthritis pain. It really does help although it does not completely relieve the pain. To the person who has the "biggest hoax" comment. Thats idiotic. If I ahve a headache or other minor to medium aches and pains Tylenol does a great job.
Thank you!! I have been on some strong pain relievers, got tired of the b.s. of getting them plus they were not working well at all. My rheumatologist and orthopedist gave me tramadol this week and I have relief for the first time in a long time!! Not gone but better. Your post gives me hope. Going to go take Tylenol right now!! Thanks...
Taking Tylenol doesn't increase the effectiveness of the Tramadol. You will get pain relief from the Tylenol in a short time... and that will help until the Tramadol kicks in which can take up to an hour.
Ultracet is ultram (tramadol) plus Tylenol in one pill so yes why not? I take the 50 mg tramadol and one 500 mg Tylenol. I also take zanaflex. They are all safe to take together. Be aware zanaflex makes you dizzy.
I apologize for being disagreeable. The answer to the original question is yes, you can take Tylenol but you should only take regular and you should let your doctor know. And, it does enhance the effectiveness of Tramodol. This is a well documented fact.
Tylenol does not generally upset the stomach and, as a long term sufferer of spinal stenosis, I can say Tylenol does help somewhat with back pain for me. I can't take nsaids because they upset my stomach so I take 50 mg of Tramadol and Tylenol and do notice, in my case, that there is a marked improvement in pain relief.
Im prescribed 100mgs tramadol 3 times a day and 1000 per day tylenol... it doesnt eliminate the pain but it does help... tried percocet which helped with the pain but made me loopy, dizzy and very constipated... the pain management isnt offering anything more than the tramadol or percocet. I guess a life of pain is my future.
Thank you because I didn't want to take too much
yes, you can take them together. The rule is not to exceed 3 grams of tylenol in a 24hour period. That saying, it is "technically safe" to take 1000mg (2 extra strength) up to 3 times a day. I personally would try to keep it to a minimum of 2 times if possible. For years they called 4grams safe... now they say 3. Take it for what that is worth.
Hi, i used to take Paracetamol (Tylenol) alongside Tramadol - 2 x 500mg tablets, and it did help my pain. I also sometimes took Ibuprofen alongside. Both are safe to be taken with Tramadol so long as you don't exceed the recommended dose
Be careful how much Tylenol you take. Either yesterday or the day before, it was announced the Tylenol is more dangerous than previously thought.
You can, but one does not enhance the other at least not specifically to Tramadol.
You can add Tylenol if you wish but i don't know about it increasing the effectiveness. Tylenol is pretty much useless for anything except fever reduction. Just be careful if you do take Tylenol and keep an eye on the dosage, it's hard on the stomach and also the liver. Take it with food to help keep it from irritating your stomach. Good luck!
We agree on the tylenol, lol... Its probably the biggest and longest hoax played on people.
blueeyesal. Just curious. What are your credentials?
those of you saying Tylenol is a hoax are incorrect. tramadol and Tylenol do potentiate each others effects. especially with respect to orthopedic pain. the warnings are there as to not take more than 3000mg per day. many medications have aspirin or Tylenol combined and patients often don't understand the content.
I learned from a doctor that Tylenol, Tramadol, Toradol and Stadol are all part of the same family of drugs. For reasons they don't understand, any of the later 3when taken in conjunction with Tylenol has a synergistic effect. I personally can attest to this when I had an ear, sinus, and gum infection that was excruciating, and again when I had a pinched nerve in my hip last year that incapacitated me (I had to use those crutches with the forarm braves. Without the added Tylenol I wouldn't have been able to get fully pain free. They (a pharmacist and do) say it's hard on the liver - well I don't imagine all the additives and preservatives does it any favors, and I'd rather be pain free than live longer in chronic pain
