Originally prescribed Ultracet(actually generic Tramado/apap) for arthritis pain. As instructed, I took two pills at night and one in the morning. By mid-morning I was ill--vomiting, dizziness, extreme fatigue, some itchiness. The arthritis pain was diminished though.
It also gave me weird dreams --black and white television stories super-imposed on colorful dreams. Those were actually kind of interesting, not scary.
I don't think this is the right pain medicine for me.

I took the prescribed dosage of Ultracet (2 caplets every 6 hrs as needed for pain) on Friday afternoon. It was prescribed for an injury to my wrist that resulted in prolonged swelling and pain. I took it on an empty stomach because the directions said it would make no difference and would speed absorption. About 30 minutes later I ate. Big mistake. I had severe nausea and a dizzy, woozy feeling. I did vomit but must have retained enough of the drug as I was still groggy 8 hours later. I rode it out all night and did not take the recommended dosage after 6 hours. No pain though. I decided the dosage was too much for me and took one pill, with food, the next morning. I spent all day in the recliner, fading in and out, and letting the Movie Channel watch me! The Ultracet relieved my pain...I think. I certainly did not have the intense pain I had suffered but I also lost my ability to function. I stopped taking the medication. There is no way I could drive or work while taking Ultracet. I had enough trouble navigating the hallway.

I took this for the very first time before bedtime and it did relieve my pain. But I experienced sleeplesness, dizziness, extreme nausea and then later vomiting. It was definitely not worth it to me.

iIhave taken ultracet/ ultram before and had the same reactions. Last night I had nothing else to take for my awful awful headache, so I had to take the ultracet. First of all it did not ease the headache at all. I woke up this morning and felt like I had the jitters, I got hot and started sweating, then I started vomiting. Now my head feels like I am in a tunnel and I have cold chills. Anything with quick movement makes my head spin and I have to vomit again! If I had not known what this medicine made me do before I would have went to the ER, but fortunatly I know just to wait it out and hopefully it will be out of my system soon.
