Percocet Vs Tramacet (Page 6)
(Newest replies first)

Hi. I'd like information comparing Percocet (Oxycodone / Acetaminophen) and Tramacet (Tramadol hydrochloride / Acetaminophen). Is Percocet a stronger more powerful pain killer than Tramacet? If so, by how much? If you have been taking Percocet are you likely to get the same effect from Tramacet? Is there a chart somewhere that compares or ranks all pain killers comparatively? If so please tell me where. Thanks - good health to you all

REPORT

I am taken generic tramacet for chronic leg pain as my microdiscectomy 3 year ago has allowed me to regain my mobility but I still get regular flare ups -a burning sensation in my lower calf that is very irritating. I find 1 tramacet every 4-5 hours is effective for relieving pain although it does have drowsy and constipation side effects if you do not take a fibre supplement.

I've had Rheumatoid arthritis for over 30 years. I change my pain meds every few years to prevent addiction and find relief. I started with aspirin about 25 years ago and I now take Percoset. I don't recall ever taking Tramacet, but as it is a derivative of morphine, I won't bother with it. Morphine and it's derivatives cause me more trouble than what relief it gives me.

I have a herniated disc in my neck (between C6-C7) and also osteoarthritis in my neck (C5-C6-C7). My family doctor prescribed me Percocet which works relatively fast and is totally effective. I then consulted a so-called 'specialist' so he could give me a referral for a cortisone injection and he prescribed me Tramacet. I must say that this stuff is absolutely F**CKING USELESS! It takes forever to work and then it barely does anything at all. If your doctor wants to prescribe you Tramacet to relieve your pain, just say NO! GIVE ME SOMETHING THAT ACTUALLY WORKS, DAMMIT!

tramadol in my opinion is useless. I have taken oxycontin 40mg 4 a day (depending on severity 80mg at once every12 hours or 40 every 6 to 8 hours) i neededto add something for break out severe pain from shopping or driving ect. tramadol was given i gave it a month then 2 and asked for something else he gave me 100mg more of this garbage and 100mg tramacet at night. new pain management doctor here in southern ontario. Today i got spinal injections in my neck and they hurt so bad we had to stop half way though it was super painfull. What gets me is my compensation will not even pay for the stuff i was injected with or any form of tramadol. but they will the oxycontin. Been in pain for 12+years 6 years on oxycontin it is a God send i do not ever get high from sell or abuse my script but my dr wants me off it.Why wreck my life and leave me without relief....because of junkies thieves and crooks abusing these opiods we in need suffer and have to justify everytime we need refills why we need such life saving drugs. Without oxycontin i would be dead because the pain would force me into suicide

I get severe migraines, and the doctor wanted me to try Tramacet instead of Percodan. It was completely useless. If you have real pain and your doctor won't provide adequate pain relieving medication, its time to find a new doctor. Percodan is addictive, so they have a valid concern, but as long as its taken as prescribed, you and your doctor should be able to reach an agreement on its being prescribed for your moderate to severe pain.

If you have suffered from an opiate addiction, is tramacet safe to use. I don't want to risk doing harm to my sobriety.

For any of your that have just started on tramadol I really sugest looking up the addictive side. The doctors will tell you that it is not addictive as it is a synthetic opiod. DO NOT BELIEVE IT!!!! Ihave been on them for two years. My pain has actually been finally relieved by surgery. I have stopped taking them now. I was taking 100mg 3x a day. Not super high doses. It managed the pain but stopping now is no picnic.I did wean down to 33 mg 2x a day but it dod not help in stopping. The leg twitches, the abdominal discomfort, the brain skips, and the muscle aches UGH! I have been on percocet for pain that was easy to wean down then stop. The tramadol not so much. Please if you want pain relief but do not want the physical withdrawl discomforts and pain do some research then make your choice.

I just recently broke my clavical (coller bone) In a cycling incident. I was prescribed 30mg codiene phosphate tablets to help with the pain since there is nothing that can be done for a broken coller bone other then to give it time to heal. After 2 nights of not being able to sleep for more then 40 minutes at a time I made an appointment with my family doctor to get something better for the pain, which is when i was given 60 tablets of Tramacet.(To my surprise since they are new to Canada) While Ill admit the tramacet is more effective then the goodies of T3's aka codiene, there is still a moderate amount of pain which I have decided to self medicate myself with my own drug of choice- not pills either. I have had percocet before and without a doubt they can effectivly relieve you from pain (and give you a wider range of side effects when taken frequently or beyond recomended dose), by comparison they make tramacet seem weaker then a halls cough candy for pain.

Keep in mind pretty much 100% of your pain relief comes from your head, all medications do is try and block the pain receptors in your brain, if you take something and are convinced its working based on knowing you just took something doesn't mean it actually works. That is play placebo tests are done in the first place.

Unless you're easily affected by medications, Tramadol is a big joke. If you have real pain you'd be best off with ANYTHING else other than the Tramadol. Over the Counter pain medicine has more effect. Of course that's just my experience with it.

My MD just prescribed Tramacet for me to relieve pain and inflammation due to osteoarthritis. I'm also taking Arthrotec at the same time.

So far I've found there to be next to no side effects for me. I haven't felt drowsy or had an upset stomach as some people apparently get. It's also done a great job in dealing with my pain.

As it is combined with paracetamol I expect it will also have the effect of reducing any inflammation.
