Ultracet helps
Posted: Thu Oct 18, 2012 4:00 pm
I am an endurance athlete who was having enough pain that it kept me from running. One of my training group is a pharmacist. She suggested Tramadol. When I asked my doc about it, he said he prefers Ultracet, which includes Tylenol. He explained Tramadol blocks the same pain receptors in the brain as the narcotic medications, but it is non-narcotic and has considerably less dependency risk. I found just one was enough to keep me going the days after my long runs. When I was taking it, I noticed I lasted longer when having sex with my wife. Sometimes even had to work at having an orgasm.
I mentioned Ultracet to the PA at my urologists office. He said the MD there prescribes that for PE. I was reminded of my own experience.
Here is one study:

PURPOSE:
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a new serotonergic centrally acting drug tramadol in delaying ejaculation in patients with premature ejaculation.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:
Sixty-four potent men with premature ejaculation were randomly assigned to receive 50 mg tramadol (group 1, n = 32) or placebo (group 2, n = 32) approximately 2 hours before planned sexual activity, for 8 weeks. Pretreatment evaluation included history and physical examination, intravaginal ejaculatory latency time, International Index of Erectile Function, and Meares-Stamey test. The efficacy of 2 treatments was assessed using responses to International Index of Erectile Function, intravaginal ejaculatory latency time evaluation, and several general assessment questions.
RESULTS:
Fifty-seven (89%) completed the whole treatment schedule. The mean intravaginal ejaculatory latency time after tramadol and placebo increased from 19 and 21 seconds to approximately 243 and 34 seconds, respectively (P < 0.001). The mean weekly intercourse episodes increased from pretreatment values of 1.07 and 1.1 to 2.3 and 1.3, for tramadol and placebo, respectively (P < 0.05). Baseline mean intercourse satisfaction domain values of International Index of Erectile Function 10 and 11 reached to 14 and 10 at 8-week treatment in groups 1 and 2, respectively (P < 0.05). There was no withdrawal caused by adverse effects with tramadol or placebo, but more adverse events were associated with tramadol treatment (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS:
Tramadol seems to provide significantly better results in terms of intravaginal ejaculatory latency time and intercourse satisfaction versus placebo. Further studies are required to draw final conclusions on the efficacy of this drug in premature ejaculation.
