Common Questions and Answers about Tramadol withdrawal seizures

Avatar m tn Oh g-d I know exactly how you're feeling. Trams DO suck - (yeah let the moderators delete that word whatever) - but they do. It was the strangest withdrawal of my life - and I had been on other opiates over the years for different health issues and the withdrawal from those was nothing compared to the tramadol withdrawal (for me at least - I know we're all different). But I can totally relate to what you're talking about.
Avatar n tn I have never heard of seizures with Ultram withdrawal. I have never had seizures with Ultram withdrawal. I know Xanax can cause seizures if you cold turkey but Ultram??
Avatar f tn Tramadol does indeed lower the seizure threshold. Withdrawal from tramadol can provoke seizures in people who do not have a seizure disorder, as is also the case with many anti-convulsants used off-label in pain management but FDA-approved for seizure control. My docs won't even consider tramadol or certain tricyclics for me since I have a history of seizures. However, in your case the benefit of pain relief might outweigh risk of seizure.
3655415 tn?1352837277 seizures are not common during opiate withdrawal. were you using any xanax,alcohol or barbituates? seizures are symptoms of withdrawal from any of these.do you have any underlying epilepsy? do you see the doctor and discuss the seizures with him? are you still using the oxys now?
Avatar m tn Have been taking tramadol for years. At one point I was up to 45 50mm pills a day. I have had three seizures as a result. I am now in the process of weaning myself off. I have read that cold turkey is not the way to go. I am down to 10 pills per day and while I have felt a little ill at ease, for the most part I feel good. Good not only physically, but mentally knowing I'm on the downhill hill swing. My question is, am I kidding myself or am i really on track to being free of the drug?
Avatar n tn If I taper slowly off of tramadol, can I avoid withdrawal symptoms all together? Or will I feel withdrawal pains no matter what?
469210 tn?1219188128 m sure you know that tramadol is ultram without the ibuprophen or whatever they mix with tramadol to make ultram. That's just the way it affects me, though, I'm sure that as with most other drugs it affects different people different ways.
Avatar m tn m not trying to contradict you, I just want to find this info so I feel comfortable sharing it with my patients. And if withdrawal from tramadol does not cause seizures, then everyone needs to know it! Personally, I think withdrawing cold turkey from tramadol is one of the wretchedest (is that even a word, lol) things in the world, so I'd never recommend coming off it too fast anyway!
Avatar n tn can i get high by using tramadol wich means if i take enough of it will i get a good feeling.
1081265 tn?1256138365 t want to quit Tramadol cold turkey is because of the high risk of seizures... Good luck.
Avatar m tn I have quit tramadol a couple of times, each after a few months of use, and I had classic withdrawal symptoms of fever/chills, aching joints and feeling generally out of sorts. Then again, that was only for a few (unpleasant) days. On the other hand, I've stopped using doloxene with no problems, and similarly for panadeine forte.
902736 tn?1242615086 I am on day 2 of 600 per day tramadol withdrawal; intestinal, anxiety (worst!), sneezing (always in twos and very violent and frequent); yawning, ears hearing the "whish..whish, whish...". Can anyone out there tell me how long this is going to last? I have to work 12 hours tomorrow. Is this going to get worse before it gets better? I have been on tramadol for 3 years now. Thanks.
439522 tn?1214951189 Please talk to avisg, she can tell you and others here can as well how bad tramadol is and coming off can cause seizures. NOT a good thing to be on!
Avatar f tn Hi keetzy, I came off morphine 1 1/2 years ago and the withdrawal made me very sick for about 6 weeks. And I have also been on and off tramadol quite a few times. At the moment I'm taking aprox 200 mg of tramadol a day, along with Tylenol 3's. I didn't find tramadol addicting at all. I don't go into withdrawal if I miss a dose.
Avatar f tn How long do the withdrawal symptoms last I have been taking TraMADol hcl for over a year for a back injury. I am trying to go cold turkey.
Avatar f tn yes its absolutely dangerous to ct of of tramadol you are risking seizures plz taper off of it .It will be so much easier of your body without the risk of seizures.
541465 tn?1219427886 I read in your other post you have seizures plz dont take the tramadol it is known to cause seizures it should not be taken by people with seizure disorders.
Avatar n tn Finally was able to take the medicine and all of the withdrawal symptoms disappeared! So from my experience, Morphine withdrawal was way worse than the Tramadol withdrawal. Unfortunately, many doctors prescribe this medication and say it is not addicting and you can't get dependant on it.
Avatar f tn Hi lil_love_fan, this forum is mainly used for Physical and Mental abuse, while the Addictions, Substance Abuse, is a forum where your question may get the most traffic. Also, when you're on the forums page, on the right side there's a box called community search, where you can type "tramadol withdrawal" and a few threads will come up with that information specifically, also asked by members here. My husband and myself have 14 years now clean and sober.
