I'm a lurker on this site and needed quick input.
My kitten took 100mg tramadol 30 mins ago. Along with 22.5 mg of Oxazepam. Stupidly he forgot that he took Ephedrine this morning at 48 mg. The half life of ephedrine is 3-6 hours so I assume by now he has about 20mg in his system.
My main concern is the seizures. I understand the dosages are fairly low however mixing epehdrine and tram definitely lowers the seizure threshold by a lot.
I was wondering if anyone can give my kitten any advice or reassurement based on his actions thus far. He currently has a cloth he bit down on to prevent biting his tongue off should he have a seizure.
Avoiding the hospital is a big one since he has a history of hospitalizations due to his psych disorder.
I apologize if this isn't the place to post. I'm sort of in a panic.
I have more oxazepam on hand if that's suggested. Am I overreacting. My kitten is a chronic smoker.

Thanks

EDIT: I forgot to mention his previous seizure history. He has taken wellbutrin 150mg and Dexedrine 40mg everyday up until 8 months ago. also he had an overdose of 600mg instant release wellbutrin. He has NEVER had a seizure before.

The oxazepam should help prevent a seizure. Some benzos are better anti-convulsants than others, and I don't know where oxazepam falls in that category, but I'm sure it helps to some degree.

And just say 'I' instead of that kitten nonsense. We don't use that here
 
Thanks for the reply. That's good to know. I might take some more oxazepam like 10mg just in case. I know its not too strong as an anticonvulsant so I guess increasing the dose would only help. And I guess I'm just used to the drugs-forum lingo. :p

I'm definitely a lot calmer now. Was psyching Thanks
 
glad you are feeling better and didn't have to rush your kitten to the vet. : /
 
That's a low dose of tramadol, too.

I think you're fine, especially considering the time between the ephedrine and the tramadol the coadministration of a benzodiazepine.
 
Thanks you guys. I really do appreciate it. I can now enjoy this combo.
I think considering my anxiety, I might just avoid drugs with a seizure risk.
Thanks again!
