Tramadol

Fri, 10/24/2014 - 15:38

To date, I've only had 2 seizures that were both chemically induced by contrast and Tramadol. I just got up from my desk to walk to the kitchen and my face felt numb as well as my left arm down to my hand. It kinda went away but I still feel the tingling. Is this another seizure or just some other thing going on with me?

So you have a pain releaver

So you have a pain releaver you take... Do you drink while you take it? If you do then you could have had a seizure related to drug use with liquor. I have a dear firiend who has a brother who has been having seoizures for some time. They thought he had epilepsy but in reality hos seizures were due to his drug use and they were pain killers and his drinking. He has stopped drinking and now his meds are being monitered. Since that was started he hasn't had a seizure. Before that he had seizures almost every day. Your post didn't say anything about you having epilepsy or if you were taking AED's  I do hope yo uget the assistance you need
