myclonic seizures

[denisethornton]

i have a wierd question. I  have been taking ultrams for over a year. and i take 4- 50 mg pills at a time . never have a problem. well the other day.. i took my 4 ultrams and 2 darvocets. didnt do anything but cured my headache. well... yesterday i  had another headache... i have bronchitis and a sinius infection so i took my 4 ultrams and another 2 darvocets... a bit later i started feeling shaky.. like i do when my sugar levels drop i also have hypoglycemia... i checked my sugar levels and they were a 62. so i ate a bunch of sugar and the shakes went down enough so i fell asleep and slept all night... woke upthis morning.. and was just a tad shaky so i thought..damn it must be my ultrams.. meaning that i hadnt taken any throughout the night so i took my morning dose of 4.. and since the shakes were really bad i took some tizantidine for spasms.... and now the shakes are really bad again... i looked up seizures and it talked about myclonic seizures.... has anyone had any of this kind of jerking of the upper body.. i have no confusion.. a little bit of agitation... i am getting scared. now how can i go to the ER and tell them i took.. 200 mg ultram and 200 mg darvocet.. and a tizantidine... of which only the ultram i have a perscription for.  
i know i should go. becuase its not going away...

has anyone of you had shaking like this with ultrams?? i am hoping its not the ultrams..

Even people without epilepsy can experience myoclonus in hiccups or in a sudden jerk that may wake you up as you're just falling asleep. These things are normal.

ultram needs to tapered down ,the ultram on its own will cause the the zaps,but you are mixxing it with diffrent meds you are very lucky you havent had a sezuire. i would start tapering the ultram.

Ultram needs to be tapered down..this I know due to seizures..it is probably the ultram and not the darvacet causing you the problems..if u feel u can not get a handle on it...go to the er and be honest...ur life is not worth it...can u taper down each day for a little while and stop the ultram eventually but slowly...

right in the paperwork that comes with ultram it says "may cause seizures".  you need to take it as directed, and i doubt that 4 at a time is what the dr ordered.  if it gets worse, you'd better get help, seizures can kill.

Yeah, they are kind of like ticks.......maybe you should stay away from the darvocets....if your not used to taking them.  if they last for more than a week or so, i would get it checked out.  If your BP is ok.  take care, hun.

its kind of like zaps.. it comes and goes.. almost like an involuntary shiver

Myclonic seizures are more like Zaps then shaking.  I get them when I take any type of anti-depressant or things like benedryl...bla bla.....I would take your Blood Pressure and make sure its not spiking.

I have not taken ultrams...but you know you CAN NOT ct off of them....It may be best to get checked out..if you go to the ER...you need to be honest about the amts....
Good luck!
