I used to be able to do just about whatever substance I wanted. About a year ago I became epileptic. Its just very minor but its still existant.

I have to take
Depakote
Topamax
And I take isotretinoin(accutane) ( different reasons)

So now I'm still having troubles quitting my habits and I know they're very hazardous on my current medicines. But its still very hard. I've been taking high doses of tramadol (for some reason I can get a good opiate buzz off of) and fioricet(a barbiturate/Tylenol/caffeine) every day. Not at the same time. Alternating days.

But the tramadol has caused at least 2 additional Hospitalized seizures. And for some reason I still haven't stopped. And its even caused me to not be able to get my drivers license.

I also have been abusing oxy, old scripts like darvocet, hydros, and xanax anything accessible with even the slightest recreational possibility.

I'm concerned about it. And I am also concerned that once I'm of age that I'm going to drink a lot which your not allowed to do on depakote.

What do you advise?
 
Stop abusing drugs and find a hobby? If you're concerned about your recreational use leading to addiction, then you should stop using altogether.

If you're epileptic, don't take tramadol.
 
You need professional help. Trust me.

I'm currently in out patient rehab for alcohol but still have other vices I plan to quit after. I don't like the thought of being sober. But too much shit has hit the fan and I have sought out professional help.

This forum is not going to be able to offer the help you need. It can however work as a great resource to vent and talk about your issues. There is a recovery section on the site.

Good luck.
 
If you're not even of legal drinking age and you're taking tramadol to the point it causes seizures, you need to see a therapist...
 
I've been to multiple therapists, psychiatrists (to help with my anxiety and depression and drug issues) and I've been to multiple drug treatment groups. Multiple outpatient ones . And twice the inpatient mental part of hospital for week or two for drug detox and to try to learn to stop etc.

Nothings seemed to help. Part of the issue is I always feel like anxious unless I take something. I've been prescribed benzos and they've helped but obviously they believed too addictive for me
 
You sound very similar to me, except for the epileptic/seizure issues. I take it we must be close in age, as I can neither buy alcohol yet in the States.

I was just like you all through my teens. A FEIRCE PILL FIEND! No joke though, this is unfortunately a very serious issue my dude. As most all will tell you: abusing pain killer, benzos, and anything else that may get you 'high' will only lead to more hard and drugs (heroin) and a horrible lifestyle, IMO.

I'm currently on 120mg/daily methadone just to keep me 'well', and be not sick :(. You don't want to end up not even being able to get high, and just having to take huge doses to simply function throughout the day and not be sick as a dog:X.

Stop with the abuse of the drugs while you can , before it gets any worse, It's really not worst it. At least try cutting back on the amount of times you use during the week, or even during the day if it's that bad of habit already..That's at least, right?

Good luck ,, hombre %)
 
all jokes aside, cookie, if you do not quit taking drugs the least you can do for yourself is stop taking tramadol. it can cause seizures in those that aren't even prone to them, it's probably one of the worst drugs a person with epilepsy could take.
 
It sounds as if you're headed for trouble, based on the description you have of how things are going for you...

At the very least, stop taking the tramadol if you're experiencing seizures...You need to go seek professional help, and be completely honest about what's been going on with you...You may end up having a complete overhaul of your prescriptions, but that may well-be what you need at this point!
 
Yikes. You're epileptic and abusing tramadol? Full stop. You KNOW that shit is going to cause you to seize! Do not continue to do this, that's a straightup road to the grave with your circumstances.

No, you cannot drink on depakote, that will trash your liver for sure. You know this. You have been warned.

If you can't stop taking drugs, go to rehab. I never tell that to anyone here but in this case, yes, it sounds like you need to learn coping techniques.

Best of luck. Please take drugs more carefully. Getting high isn't worth your life, dude.
