oh, yeah....and it doesn't need to be very long.....and the crash is no -------- fun.
and, to me, it is unconscionable that doctors don't inform patients of this!!!!!!

My neuro I saw in Sydney recently advised me against taking tramadol because it can cause seizures... well not while Im taking anti seizure meds as well it wont

Neither of my docs have warned me about quitting Lyrica and both are Neuros. My take is they expect us not to quit unless informing them first ?

I believe only in high doses does Tramadol carry this risk.
It can also be combined with SSRIs and increase seizure risk too.

People with a pre-existing seizure history, should avoid too.
