Tramacet?

[addict200]

Percribed for pinched syatic (sciatic) nerve. Safe? Opiote? Any info?

[fedup4now]

nasty, not safe - very addictive for some, and a nightmare to withdrawal from.

My Doc was oxy - so my Dr prescribed tramacet because it was non addictive - 3 years later, I am ordering it over the internet, and at 4 times the prescribed amount.  It doesn't do anything for some - but if you are an opiate fan, it may bad news.  For me not the same rush, or peak of euphoria - but a nice steady warm, feeling - good energy.

I have CT'd off oxy - but it was nothing compared to the withdrawal I have experienced from tramecet.  The depression is insane, RLS, siezures - no picnic - avoid it if you can!

Ultraset ? if it has tramadol in it then yes its highly addicting . If you abuse it it can cause sezuires ,the withdrawl is hell .It is not an option for people that are opiate addicts . It would be jumping from the frying pan straight into a fire . If you put tramadol in search you will see how many people have been addicted to this .

When I called the dr  specifically asked for something non addictive/non narcotic, pharmasist said same thing! These "professionals" S u c K

They say they are safe and non-addictive b/c they aren't "technically" an opiate. Some countries I believe have classifed them as opiates ... I think my RX insurance website mentioned that one state was going to classify it as a Schedule III maybe?? Anyway, sadly the do RX it to people thinking they aren't giving them something addictive. I have read it also has something in there that affects your seratonin....so if you are taking any anti depressants that really may not be a good combination.

Ok...there is my 2 cents! LOL

I googled Tramacet and I found this info I thought u all might be interested ...How does it work?

This medicine contains two active ingredients, tramadol hydrochloride and paracetamol. These are both pain-relieving medicines.

Tramadol hydrochloride is a type of painkiller called an opioid. It is related to morphine, though is not as strong a painkiller. Opioid painkillers work by mimicking the action of naturally occurring pain-reducing chemicals called endorphins. Endorphins are found in the brain and spinal cord and reduce pain by combining with opioid receptors.

Tramadol mimicks the action of our natural endorphins by combining with the opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord. This blocks the transmission of pain signals sent by the nerves to the brain. Therefore, even though the cause of the pain may remain, less pain is actually felt.

Tramadol also works by enhancing the activity of neurotransmitters in the brain and spinal cord. Neurotransmitters are chemical compounds that act as chemical messengers between the nerve cells. Tramadol enhances the effect of the neurotransmitters serotonin and noradrenaline, and this action also helps relieve pain.

Paracetamol is a non-opioid painkiller that on its own is used to relieve mild to moderate pain. It can also reduce fever. It is not fully understood how paracetamol works.

The combination of tramadol and paracetamol in this medicine is used to provide relief from moderate to severe pain.

This was the 1st time I saw Tramadol specified as an opiate!!!

Thank you for the info, I have also searched and have found that this is "non addictive but not to be used by addicts". Ok so much for that idea. I'm really in pain and believe it or not oxy doesn't work on this kind of pain. I was looking for a strong anti inflammitory.
Anyone have any suggestions for my poor back? I do physical work lots of lifting and bending all day.

I think Advil is the very best...Ibuprofen. Over the counter they come in 200 mg tablets, and for bad pain you can take up to 3-4 of them every 6 hours. I suggest three. it will work better after a day or so and when the anti-inflammatory action has really kicked in.

have you ever tried mobic

[addict200]

whats mobic? Is it OTC?

[avisg]

is an  anti-inflammatory  you have to get it from your doctor

I just stopped taking Tramacet after being on it for a month.  The withdrawal has been absolute hell: nausea, chills, sweating, trouble sleeping.  It has been 48 hours.  I phoned the pharmacist today and he said another 48 hours of these symptoms and I should be out of the woods.
If I would have known it would be so hard, I would have come off of it much slower.
