It is not a scheduled drug (controlled substance), but it has been known to be abused, especially when mixed with other narcotic pain relievers (Hydrocodone/oxycodone). The detail guys intitially touted it as very potent analgesic w/o the tolerance/withdrawl issues of the narc's....but ??.....ok for short term use for pain w/o inflammation.
I took them before quite a bit for a bad back I had and they worked for me but not like a vicodin or anything like that. Take two of them you will notice.
Here is the main thing: They will keep you wide awake. I have given a few too others and all said the same thing. Most bitched the next day how they didnt sleep a wink on them. Do not take one after 3pm in the afternoon or you will be up night.

It is a non narcotic pain reliever.. People react differently to pain meds. It def. works for some and it wont give you the spacey feeling that Perc or Vicodin can give. It may cause a little upset tummy, but nothing too serious. Give it a try and take a break fron perq.. Your body builds a tolerance to narcotics ( need higher doses to get same pain relief).
hno:Wife takes Ultram religiously for bad hipand Arthritus.No side effects. I tried and feel dizzy, so i take Ultracet, smallerdosage 37mg instead of 50 or 100. it also is mixed with acetemenephine. Take every day along with soma for disc problems in neck and the headaches that go along with it. No problem taking after four years.
