5639849 tn?1372346883 The worst part for me is the PAWS (post acute withdrawal syndrome) which is what happens once the worst of the acute withdrawal sickness is over. I've read a number of articles and medical reviews on this and much of it can be attributed to the 9 or so chemicals this drug interacts with in the brain. It's much more complex then medical professionals originally thought but the human body/brain is a remarkable machine and it will fix the damage these drugs have caused.
469210 tn?1219188128 Hello, I have been prescribed Ultram for pain and I currently take Effexor XR 225mg. per day. Is anyone else taking this combo of meds and how is it working for you? Walgreens wouldn't fill my script b/c they said the combo causes seizures. However, my psych said that it wouldn't. I'M CONFUSED!!
10623623 tn?1414292089 The chance of seizure is very high with these drugs. Perhaps you were on another drug that diminished the risk of seizure?
Avatar n tn I'm not aware that wellbutrin is a cause of seizures. Usually that's anti-seizure meds, such as benzos. Wellbutrin is a straight anti-depressant. I'm no expert, but sometimes nortriptyline is used to help with withdrawal from anti-depressants, but wellbutrin isn't known for the really bad withdrawals.
Avatar n tn which is why slow and steady wins the race with this drug. luckily i never experienced a seizure during the times i went cold turkey......and the only time i went cold turkey was when i ran out and couldn't get more. the risk of seizure is very high though so ultimately you SHOULDN'T vary your dose until your doctor has put you on a taper plan. for you, if you were to reduce your average daily dose by, say, 20%....you may experience severe withdrawal while i may not.
544292 tn?1268882668 The length of time withdrawal symptoms occur can range from a couple of days to weeks depending on how high your dose was and how long you were on the drug. Withdrawal symptoms can be reduced by discontinuing use of the drug slowly (i.e., gradually reducing the daily dose). Tramadol is more complex than other opiate and opiate-like medications because it also appears to have actions on the GABAergic, noradrenergic, and serotonergic systems in the brain.
452063 tn?1324074916 Risk of convulsions may also increase in patients with epilepsy, those with a history of seizures, or in patients with a recognized risk for seizure (such as head trauma, metabolic disorders, alcohol and drug withdrawal, CNS infections). In tramadol overdose, naloxone administration may increase the risk of seizure. Suicide Risk •Do not prescribe ULTRAM ER for patients who are suicidal or addiction-prone.

Avatar f tn If you have been taking Xanax for a long time, the withdrawal symptoms could be severe. Withdrawal symptoms such as increased heart rate, sleeplessness, and seizures could occur. Therefore I would recommend going back to your doctor and ask to be tapered off. If your doctor is not willing, you can go to a hospital or a center that specializes in helping people stop taking drugs such as Xanax.
Avatar f tn Yes, Benzodiazepines are infact used to treat epilepsy and other seizure disorders- however it is NOT an anti-/seizure convulsant based medication... It is actually considered a mild tranquilizer(sedative) that works by slowing down the central nervous system. Also, Benzodiazepine's are not the first choice for the treatment for seizure disorders. Studies have also shown that prolonged use of Benzodiazepine's in the long run for such disorders becomes less effective..

Avatar f tn Also just as scary there is somthing called Serotionin syndrome Serotonin syndrome is a life-threatening drug reaction that causes the body to have too much serotonin, a chemical produced by nerve cells. Serotonin syndrome most often occurs when two drugs that affect the body's level of serotonin are taken together at the same time. The drugs cause too much serotonin to be released or to remain in the brain area.

5700140 tn?1372651764 Hello, Lamictal causes serious withdrawal reactions. These withdrawal effects are more severe compared to side effects. The common symptoms seen with withdrawal are moodiness, lethargy, headaches, tingling, suicidal tendencies etc.Lamictral should not be stopped abruptly it should be done slowly. It is suggested to report these symptoms to your doctor. If the symptoms are severe or persistent you may need emergency medical help. Keep me posted. Take care and regards!

Avatar f tn Hi guys, I'm new and I miss two days of my xanas and I tell you the withdrawal is crazy, tingling in my feet, panic attacks three times a day...
1035021 tn?1296820707 What really freaked me out is that I just read that even missing a single dose of Xanax one can have the withdrawal symptoms of it!!!??? I started to take Xanax (Alprazolam) because my Cardiologist prescribed it to me, cause my anxiety was causing me to have high blood pressure and heartbeat levels, with this I started to calm down on my anxiety but never have realized of what people said about how intense the withdrawals are until yesterday when I have to miss a dose.

Avatar n tn it is a drug prescribed for diabetic nueropathy so interactions with insulin would not be a big factor.....it is a drug that makes the seizure threshold even higher/and is used for seizure patients so i would doubt it would cause someone to have seizures....it is an anti-seizure drug....all drugs have interactions...i do know that lyrica is way more dangerous in the terms of side effects....and some do get euphoric from using it...i dont...

Avatar f tn Hello everyone. I found this site through a Google search and am glad to have found a community of people going through the same thing I am. I'm sure you guys don't need another separate Tramadol withdrawal post, but as similar as the other withdrawal stories seem to be with my own experiences, there is one part which differs greatly with me and I only hope someone may have some insight. Two years ago I tried Tramadol for a week.
Avatar f tn I totally agree with Ballgame. From what I have read about Tram you should never cold turkey it because you cold have a seizure and it's also a very severe withdrawal. It is also an anti depressant so it could cause you to be very depressed. I think you should go to the ER right away or phone your doctor. please don't do this alone and let us know how you make out.
