I have never had problems with anything that could cause seizures or epilepsy... but after trying to take Ultram (tramadol) for breakthrough pain for spine surgery and a bone tumor in my arm, it caused a seizure.
On August 18, 2014, the pain reliever tramadol (UltramÂ®) will be scheduled as a Class IV controlled substance by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.1 Tramadol is a synthetic, opioid pain reliever similar in strength to codeine.In 2012, more than 40 million tramadol prescriptions were written in the United States, more than any other opioid medications except for hydrocodone and oxycodone. 2.In 1994, clinical data suggested tramadol had a very low abuse potential.n the year 2000, tramadol was present in only 82 law enforcement drug seizures. This number increased to 1806 by 2012. 1 A 2002 study found that 87 out of 140 healthcare professionals testing positive for tramadol use obtained the drug with illegal prescriptions.
