tramadol withdrawal
My wife is in her 4th day of tramadol withdrawal. She was taking 16 tramadol a day for 2 years. She has her first seizure in november and was still taking tramadol. She had her second seizure three days ago and was put on some type of seizure meds and quit tramadol cold turkey. She now hasnt slept for 2 and a half days in addition to her other symptoms. The Dr. prescribed her a sleeping pill tonight but she still cant sleep. I dont know what else to do. How long can she go without sleep before i take her to the er Please help me....
You may want to do some reading about Tramadol. It can cause seizures in doses above the recommended 8 per day...
I've heard great feedback on Alteril. Insomnia is very common in opiate withdrawal; are you still giving her the Tramadol 3x per day? If not, she's gone back into withdrawal and this may go on for awhile...Hang in there-

The Dr. did not know the cause of her seizure. She never has any problem until her first one in November. The Dr. thinks it could be from the tramadol use. She slept a few hours last night, over 6 days now. Shes getting super tired. She just laid down again. Im off to work, havent worked since sat, my daughter is with her today. The Ambien doesnt seem to work, Dr. said to give her sominex or ateril.
The sleep will return. Her system just went into a type of shock with the abrupt withdrawal of all that Tramadol. It's not unusual.
I think keeping her on the Tramadol 3x per day as you did yesterday will help her system equilibrate. Also, no caffeine right now...
Were the seizures explained to you as to cause?

Over five days now without sleep. She dosed off and on last night about 5 times, maybe 20 minutes each time. Praying she sleeps today.
Well it sounds like she is comfortable and that's the main thing. I am praying she gets some sleep soon but it sounds like she is relaxed right now so don't stress about it.
Keep us posted. I'm glad you have a doctor on board.

Get her back on and pick up some Alteril which is an OTC sleep med that is all natural and very effective for most.
I'm sure Pat will check in later but she doesn't seem to be here right now so I thought I'd jump in...I hope you don't mind.
