Opioids dihydrocodiene/codiene/tramadol induced seizures?

[fattnessmonster]

hello all, ive done a bit of searching but nothing became immediately apparent. anyway, been enjoying what's offered from these three things recently and after browsing there respective threads, am curious about the potential for them to induce seizures. it seems to be a commonly referenced potential effect from taking too much, but nobody offers actual mg based points of concern. any help? thanks a lot

Tramadol is the only one you have to worry about inducing a seizure. It lowers the seizure threshold, and the maximum amount that you should take daily is no more than 400mg.

Spot on. If you have an Anti-epileptic in your system then the chance of experiencing a seizure is lowered. But it's still not something you want to test out.
Codeine and DHC are not seizure inducing, even in large doses.

Oh, and the best way to take Tramadol is to take your 400mg per day is to split the dose into 100mg doses throughout the day.
Metabolites build up as you dose and just seems to produce a better high altogether.
