Acetaminophen / tramadol for Pain "I've only been taking this medication for 2 days (back pain), it takes the edge off, which allows me to function better. However, I'm nauseous, dizzy, and lightheaded, and I can't keep my eyes open, and I'm not even tired. I'm thinking about not taking it because I can't drive like this with 2 young children in my car."

For Pain "I've been taking tramadol acetaminophen for over 5 years. Most people will need to start slowly on this drug, like a quarter dose, then slowly build up to as much as needed, but obviously not exceed their prescription dosage. I have bilateral joint disorder, inflammatory disorder, arthritis, and fibromyalgia. This drug has been a lifesaver. I can actually function almost normally. It has not caused me to become addicted or require more than what I need to take. I do have an occasional dizzy spell if I bend over and rise up again too quickly, but then I am 64, so it may not have anything to do with the drug. I have never taken prescription drugs before because of the horrible side effects, but this is one I can highly recommend."

For Pain "Took for bad tooth pain. Dentist prescribed it yesterday till he can get my swelling down and pull it next week. Knocked me on my butt. Could barely talk, I slurred when I spoke. Walking, I staggered everywhere. Made me so tired. Knocked the tooth pain out, though. Fine for at night since I'll be sleeping anyhow. Not during the day. I actually took it before I picked up kids from school. Wow, terrible driving home when tramadol kicked in. Make sure you try this medication when you're going to be staying home for about 6 hours, just to be safe. So it definitely worked for the pain. Helpful for at night as it knocked me out and I didn't even know I had tooth pain. I slept hard all night."

Acetaminophen / tramadol for Pain "My ENT prescribed Ultracet for sinus pain. It was a nightmare. I had all possible side effects: nausea, vomiting sensation, lack of appetite, dizziness, giddy feeling, and severe constipation. I stopped after the second dose. Spent two days in bed."

For Pain "Was given this for the shingles. Works great. Tends to not work as well if taken too much. Dizzy and nauseated when I move, but can tolerate."
