Hi, I am wondering if anybody else has used this drug and if so was effective? I'm asking because I was prescribed the Tramacet by one pain doc, and told to discontinue it by another???? The other doc has prescribed M-Eslon 10mgs twice a day as suggest it evens the pain out more. The first pain doc suggested narcotics don't work for crps pain....but I was up to the maximum dose of tramacet and it did not appear to help, ie 650mgs four times a day, however I am reluctant to try the M-eslon (20mgs) until I see my original pain doc. Unfortunately that's not for a few months and my family doc is clueless. Thoughts very much appreciated as I'm just contemplating taking both

I too had my doc say that narcs aren't going to help with crps/rsd...don't always believe it though because if you check around most of us are on them. It is for pain...narcs help you perceive the pain differently not just take it away. I think you should call your other doc before doing anything...just give a call and ask the question, the doc specialty is pain after-all. Make sure your pain doc knows before you start any different meds because they could clash. I can call and leave a message for my doc at anytime through his nurse...give it a try. If the other med isn't working you might need to try a stronger narc....is tramacet in the Percocet family or Darvacet? You can also call any Pharmacist to let you know what they are (even Safeway) just ask to talk to one. Also check out Medline Plus it will give you the down-low on all the meds. Hope you start feeling better!

Thanks Jennelle for the advise, which I took . I contacted the pain doc and I'm going to take both. Thankyou again. I would have sent you a private e-mail or a thankyou, but I keep getting them wrong

I take 300 mg Tramadol ER (Ultram) once per day(time released); I don't see much relief from it. I also take 10/500 Loritab 4-5 times per day..2400 mg neurontin..and many other meds. I have not taken tramacet.

I hope you feel better soon.
