Fibro/cymbalta/tramadol seizure/scared

Friday I had a seizure and the hospital said it was from the tramadol. I take 600mg gaba 3x a day, I have taken 50mg tramadol no more than 4 times daily for months. 2 months ago my dr added 60mg Cymbalta and then a month ago my rheumatologist doubled that. The trauma from the seizure threw me into a huge flare seemed to have undone all the months of work I have done with my muscles with exercise and acupuncture. I was just reading about serotonin effect and I am kind of worried that I have developed that as I also have severe muscle jerking when I relax or try to sleep. My dr is weaning me from gaba and onto lyrica in hopes of better pain relief and I am not looking forwward to the next few days. I just wanted to know if anyone else has had any issues with any of these combinations. It is possible that I have a lower threshold for seizures as my little brother hs had several and my older brother had a seizure from a medication a little over a month ago. I feel as though the deeper I go on this journey of fibro I only end up with more questions and concerns. I am tired, in so much pain, and scared.

Sami,

Thats a fair amount of meds..we can be med sensitive also..

I can tolerate tramadol in very small doses..i take 12.50 mg at a time.


It helps keeping the edge off my pain..without the side effects..

It was perscribed at a much higher dose, but knowing i am sensitive i take small and see what i tolerate..

We have to know our own bodies..people who are medication sensitive can not handle the same as the average patient..
