Ok, if you've read about some of my adventures before you know I have a chronic pain condition called CPPS (usually a fairly benign condition, but I'm in the top 2% of sufferers who deal with it constantly... yay me)... well, I got a bit hooked on Oxy and got myself off (thank god I'm off that stuff, still deal with the occaisonal craving but nothing I can't live without). Long story short I got a test script of Tramadol because it's "non addicting" according to my dr. I take it home and figure might as well give it a try, so I pop 2.5 of the 10 pills (50mg trammys, script is 1-3 pills as needed twice a day). well, I took my dose right when i got up tonight (I'm a graveyard person) and went about my daily business, well, I came back to brush my teeth and saw 2.5 pills there. in my groggines I thought "oh, I haven't taken my meds yet" and popped them down... it wasn't till about an hour later that it clicked in my brain that I had taken it twice. I went back to my bottle and yup, 5 of the 10 pills were gone, not 2.5 (I must have left out the other couple pills being the absent minded guy that I am). now I've heard that staying under the 400 mg daily limit SHOULD keep seizures at bay if I'm prone to them (I did some research after I got home from the doctor), but I'm literally TERRIFIED of seizures since I drive a motorcycle and an accident caused by a seizure means I die instead of just get taken to the hospital. I know I'm probably over reacting as 250 mg's in an hour isn't THAT much from what I read, but just to be safe, if I don't take any more for the next few days should I be in the clear? and if I DO have a seizure, what time frame am I looking at before I can say "ok, I'm good". By that I mean how long after taking the pills without having one can I say "ok, not gonna have on". will it happen within hours? within 24 hours? or is it one of those things where it could be triggered randomnly in the next WEEK? Sorry about the paranoia, but I don't like the idea of hurting myself or visiting the ER
