Contact your doctor: Ultram does cause seizures rarely, and stopping it suddenly will likely result in other problems with withdrawal. However, now that you are off the drug, you may need supportive medications to get you through the next several days. Would see your doctor asap, and definitely do tell the doc about the seizures, as you are at risk for more seizures.
