A member asked:
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?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tramadol very rarely can promote seizure activity, and this appears to occur in those with history of epilepsy, and also taking relatively high doses, and rarely with sudden cessation after chronic high dose therapies. If you take 2 or 3 per day, as needed, this would not necessarily be risky or dangerous
