Tramadol Vs Tylenol 4

Updated

How many Tylenol 4 would I have to take to equal 400 Mgs of tramadol? I'm trying to keep the withdrawals at bay. Please help.

Look I'm not a doctor but i do have a lot of experience with pain meds as I have been on narcotics for chronic pain since 2008. Even though tramadol is considered on the lower epsilon of narcotics I have a hard time with nausea and constipation if i mix acetaminophen with hydrocodone or percocet. Just trust your doctor and discuss it with your pharmacist. Unfortunately doctors don't always know everything you are taking and your pharmacist does. Also trust what your body tells you. Personally i half my pills until I'm sure i can handle more i try to stick to that then when I'm sure I'm ok. I take the other half and drink plenty of fluids. If not you take a chance - your stomach will dissolve the pill too rapidly which causes it to hit too fast then you experience nausea and dizziness. If you ever want to discuss it more call the pharmacist. I stay away from retail like CVS and Walgreens, and i go to a private pharmacist that takes my insurance. He listens to my concerns and makes suggestions good luck.

Hello Brandon,

This is what a clinical study from the NIH found "Average daily doses of approximately 250 mg of tramadol hydrochloride tablets in divided doses were generally comparable to five doses of acetaminophen 300 mg with codeine phosphate 30 mg (TYLENOL with Codeine #3) daily, five doses of aspirin 325 mg with codeine phosphate 30 mg daily, or two to three doses of acetaminophen 500 mg with oxycodone hydrochloride 5 mg (TYLOX) daily." - [1] National Institute of Health (under clinical studies tab)

So doing the math each tramadol mg is equivalent to 1.2 acetaminophen mgs. This means that 400 mgs of tramadol is equivalent to 480 mgs of acetaminophen.

Even with this information in mind I would consult your doctor to ensure that this is a safe route for you to take. Best of luck and I hope this information was useful.
