For Pain "I have a badly herniated L5-S1 disc. While Vicodin is a very effective and safe medicine, there is just too much stigma and psychological dependence. I've been looking for a medication that's as good and found it. I really think Ultracet/Tramadol delivers as good of analgesia as Vicodin but without the stigma and abuse potential. I started on Ultram ER 200 and had some side effects, namely bad headaches, drowsiness, and 'crashing' in the evening. My doctor switched me to the Ultracet 37.5/325 and it's great. The acetaminophen eliminates the headaches and the drowsiness and crashing are eliminated because I can take my 3rd or 4th dose around 6pm and it carries me to bedtime. I also take Gabapentin 300mg at bedtime."

For Pain "Was given this after a tooth extraction. Yeah, it works for mild pains (level 4 pain and lower). It makes me extremely groggy, but I can't seem to really sleep very long while on it. It also dehydrates me really quickly."

For Pain "My wife took 1 tab for 2 days, and she had a severe reaction of vomiting, weakness, and sleepiness, and recovered after 2 days. When she took 1/2 tab for 1 week, she tolerated it well. But today, again when she took one full tab, she has a severe reaction as earlier. I am not sure what to do."

For Pain "I've been taking Ultracet for about 4 months, usually 2-4 tablets daily. Not sure why my doctor prescribed it for long-term use when product info says it is for short-term usage. The pills generally help with pain, but they also give me a feeling of 'well-being', like a narcotic painkiller. Recently, I had a delay in getting my prescription filled and had to stop the pills abruptly. On the second day, I experienced withdrawal symptoms such as sweating, flu-like chills, clammy hands, restless leg syndrome, and sleeplessness."
