Unlikely: They must list every possible even when rare! rare even with large doses over long time.

Was recently given tramadol 50mg to take if I needed it. Haven't taken any yet. I see one of the unique side effects is seizure. That may be rare but, what might cause a person to be more likely to have a seizure when taking this drug?

Why does Tramadol w/draw cause twitching? Worried as many cite seizures as possible when stopping. 50 mg x2 pday for 2 months. Tapering, but feel BAD!
