 3  Back Pain/ Scheuermanns Disease Addiction, Quick Tolerance, I've Taken the new version Ultracet, which is the same as Ultram, but with tylonol mixed in it. Worked great for a while but now taking only one at a time gives no noticeable effect, and two is quickly lessening as well. Also after taking it for a long while and stopping isn't pleasant M 21 1 years

 4  herniated disks and bone spurs Mild "high" and insomnia at first, but that didn't last long. After years of use, no side effects unless you count addiction. Addiction results in muscle spasms, restlessness and irritability when the medicine is stopped. I took it for 3 years before neck surgery and it took me 2 weeks to come off of it. It is billed as a non-addictive narcotic, but the doctors are finding out that some people become addicted to it. After a year off of it, I developed more back pain and have been on it for another 2 years. I gradually have to increase the dose to be effective, but not because of any craving for it. F 59 5 years
