Thanks for the reply. I might have confused you. The three seizures I've had occurred a while ago. In fact the last one was last September. Since then I have been very careful about the amount of tramadol I would take. I just realized that if I didn't just flat out stop taking them, there would be a chance of another episode.
Yes you are track. Great job!
Beware that since you have had 3 seizures, you not only have a lower thresh hold for future seizures, but in the future you may continue having them. Sometimes Epilepsy is actually induced by an event such as this, causing just one or two seizures, but your brain never quite resumes 100% the way it used to and you will continue having sporadic seizures as a result of such high usage of the drug for so long.
Be careful- I wouldn't taper without medical assistance at this point. Status Epilepticus can be caused from drug withdrawal as well- and it is very serious. please contact your doctor and make sure you are being monitored and on other meds to control withdrawal symptoms.
