i was in the bathroom,i didnt heed the warning and advice and stupidly due to my high tolerance i ived (honestly ived?so stupid of me!) 600 mg of tramadol injections.
this is how i felt,these had never happened before!!
within seconds
my head started to shake
there was a pressure around my head like a band and i feared i was going to have a seizure,a grand mal one and since the bathroon wud be locked no one wud find me until i was dead!
my heart started racing at almost 140 beats per minute and my chest got incredibly hot!
my whole body started shaking violently (every muscle in my body)
i realized i wud soon pass out or hit my head against something (that is how most epileptic fits end in death) or scream and my family wud find out i did drugs (im staying with my family just now)
i quickly tried to get up from the the toilet lidd,there was no power in my legs and i fell on the bathroom floor,with EVERYTHING moving about,the walls,the paint
i was so scared that i wud pass out so soon and wudnt even know it i started to will myself not to pass out,
my body continued shaking violently
luckily i had some benzodiazepines with me but my shaking hands couldnt even blister them out,i was afraid that before taking any benzos i wud pass out and if i went into status epilepticus (constant repeated seizures) i would die because thats fatal if not treated.
i quickly popped two dormicums two klonopin and two lexotanil with water in a container on the bathroom floor!
all this time i kept one hand on the floor to keep myself straight,because removing it made me tip sideways,my head was still 'bobbing' like crazy the floor was wet but i lied down in coma posture so i wouldnt sustain any injuries,willing myself not to pass out
lied there for ten minutes just willing saying repeated dont pass out and breathing deeply,then the benzodiazepines absorbed and graduallly the shaking and dizziiness went away,i got up and and i was okay within minutes..

people told me tramadol built up in the system and caused seizures,but i thought it has never happened to me,why should it,stupid person.it was the absolute worst moment of my life.
the only reason i believe i didnt have a full blown grand mal was because the previous night i hadnt been able to fall asleep and took two klonopins just so i could sleep a little.when i did tramadol,i was very slightly hung over on them.thank god i hadnt been able to sleep.

DO YOU THINK I WAS JUST 'SCARED' BECAUSE OF THE HIGHER DOSE OR WAS THIS SOME KIND OF A SEIZURE? PEOPLE SAY TRAMADOL CAUSES GRAND MAL SEIZURES ONLY BUT I DIDNT PASS OUT AND REMEMBER EVERYTHING.
 
It's hard to conclusively say tbh. You were shaking uncontrollably, though it's hard to say if it was from "fright" alone. I am now diagnosed with epilepsy (due to drug abuse), but long before I had any issues, even higher oral doses of tramadol would throw me into those lower grade seizure states. Be fucking careful dude. Quit while you're ahead.

Btw, I would really abstain seeking medical advice from us. Throw your addiction to the curb and have a chat with your physician.
 
later though,i went into withrawal,i couldnt stop so decided to take a ssmaller dose,but the same thing happened,only worse this time.
can someone explain why this happened with a low dose that i usually take.the shaking the dizziness the feeling of passing out lasted half hour after which some lucky benzos id had with me got in..thank got midazolambromazepam and clonazepam.these drugs probably saved my lufe..
but why did itt get worse with a normal dose that i take? is my brain getting habituated to seixures,
i have to gradually quit tramadol,do you think these wil continue until i get em off or or should i start taking epival or some antiseizure medication..?
 
Go see a doc, asap. Seriously. This could be tramadol, but what happens if it's not. I think a lot of people here assume that any health issues are drug related, and most time they are, but what if it's not? Something like this requires immediate medical attention. Sucks, I know, but you gotta do it.

As someone with epilepsy (though I'm no doc) I will say this though, you are probably did not having a seizure. You would either know after, or you wouldn't know at all. Grand-mal you would wake up in so much pain. Petit-mal, complex, partial, etc. etc. you would all have no memory of the event. It really sounds like you had a panic attack, you were thinking about seizure, you took 600mg of tramadol, you thought about seizures again, hence panic attack.

Again I'm no doctor, just sharing my experiences.
 
This is not something we can help you with. We're not doctors and aren't qualified to diagnose a seizure, especially over the internet..

You should seek medical attention right away and in the future, show a little more restraint, or something very bad is going to happen.

Taking a risk like that for tramadol of all things is crazy.
 
^Agreed

^Ya, I never come to with any recollection of what happened. I pried off a screen to a window and jumped/fell out a 2nd story window last week. I would never (arguably :\ ) do that in a right state of mind. The soreness is definitely a good indicator.

how long di u use trmadol dexter?
 
thanks everyome,but honestly i dnot have panick attacks,i wasnt thinking about a a seizure,but my legs gave up and i fell simply couldnt get up,i tipped over constantly ,perhaps otpeople are okay but that was the fuckest part ive ever experienced.perhaps it was tonic clonic.
 
Did this happen today? I would be getting to the hospital, as you may be in post ictal stage.
They should be able to assist with what happened and help prevent this from happening again.
 
That sounds similar to something a woman I know has experienced. She said she feels it coming on, and when it does she falls to the ground and shakes uncontrollably. It sounds like a seizure but she is conscious during it so it's not. Unfortunately I don't know what her diagnosis was. The last time I saw her was when she asked to be excused from the room because she felt one coming on, and she went outside and it happened so she was taken away in an ambulance to be treated.
 
I've had a 2 decade long love-hate relationship with opiates. Tramadol never really did it for me though. There's so many cyp2d6 inhibitors add alcohol and to me the seizure risk(add head injuries from football and boxing)isn't worth it. I would really talk with a doctor. Could save your life.
 
I agree with everyone saying you should really see a doctor...it could save your life...I have epilepsy...grand mal and petite mal seizures and they aren't anything to play around with
 
It sounds to me like you just took a really big overdose of tramadol. Tram isn't 100% opioid, it is also a serotonin/norepinephrine releasing agent and a few other things. This can cause you to feel really, really fucked up, and is the reason some people are worried about seizure.

It seems to me eating a shitload of benzos on a huge dose of tramadol may not be the best thing to do. The combination does potentiate both drugs. You run the risk of respiratory depression or aspirating your own puke from passing out.

As Mr. Scagnattie and others have said, this is a sign to stop being so reckless with tramadol use. See a doctor if it continues to be a problem, or maybe stop IVing large doses of tram.
