Seizures

Question - I was about 10-12 50mg/day.  Went cold turkey and am on day 3.  Am I out of the woods for seizures?

Well, what were you taking? Benzo's?

[StaggerLee]

Tramadol.  Sorry.

I dont think anyone can really answer that . I sure hope so, but seizures have alot to do with your seizure threshold the good thing is you did not go much over 8 a day that should help....Are you on any other meds?

[StaggerLee]

Nope - just taking Bayer "back and body" for the back pain instead of tramadol.  I've been taking 2/day.

bayer is fine,most of the people that i have seen that have sezuires have been taking antidepressants or they have been taking 20 or 30 a day , but i am sure some people just have them

are u kidding me????? u will be fine!!! benzos will cause seizures when detoxing, also tramadol in high amounts will cause sezures. i used to take 40 trams a day id seize a few times a day. ull be fine tho.

[avisg]

you seem a bit upset ,he did not know so he asked the question .I am glad he did worring would make him feel worse not better .....

[upmcmd]

im sorry. yea better safe than sorry i appologize im used to dealing with people asking question about hard drugs like hydro, oxy, fent, morph. yea ull be just fine i dont think that will give u seizures:)

No sweat.  Trams may not be "hard drugs" but they're no picnic to get off of.
