Tramadol fits

I have been taking or should I say abusing Tramadol for about three years now and I have started having epileptic fits every few months or so. I was at work three days ago and woke up with blood pouring from my mouth and a paramedic trying to but a breathing tube in my mouth. I remember not knowing where I was or what was going on. Tramadol used to work for me as a pain killer but now I just cant get off it I take between 20-30 50mg daily I need some help any one please I feel like one day Im not going to wake up I need help please!!

Ok, you definitely need to get to an ER or doc asap.  This is nothing to play with!

Talk to your Dr.  Now.  And if you don't have one - FIND one.  Now.  (your life depends on it)  (p.s. I'm a former tramadol addict myself)

I'm glad you came here. Now for the hard part: you need to be in inpatient rehab. Your Ultram dose is off the charts. Tramadol lowers the seizure threshhold; occasionally even people that take it properly can have a seizure. With your daily dose, it's an honest-to-God miracle that you haven't died. You have no control right now and I doubt you could do a taper on your own. Not judgmental, it's just a fact. Every seizure you have can mean your death. You are in an emergency situation; if you were my sister, I'd say that you need to get to a treatment center NOW.
