I have heard of people having real struggles getting off tram as they go into heavy depression.
Also, tramadols can cause seizures in a person whom has not experienced them before. Once one has a seizure, one is prone to them for the rest of their life.
It certainly is a mild AD. I know when I take it I get an energtic vibe and go crazy with cleaning and organizing stuff. I used to take it every day and when I decided to quit it wasn't too bad, but I was only on a low dose. Felt like I had the Flu for a few days.
I think the risk of seizure comes with doses above 400mg.
if you read my other thread when I talk about being angry at myself for being lazy this med sounds ideal.
I do know the risks, I was on trams before and I think it be ideal to take them for days when I need to get out of bed,
Things like going on a cleaning spree is things like I need to do.
When I was first put on trams for pain many years ago there was NO knowledge of the seizures.
I have heard if you take a small amount of diaz it decreases it.
thanks for the advice everyone.
