Last year, a pain management specialist prescribed me Ultram for a severe back problem. My pdoc told me not to take it for the exact reasons Elizabeth noted.
Elizabeth, and some of you other folks out there, how do you know so much? (Rhetorical question).

I think it's probably a rare adverse effect, but that you should keep it in mind if you're considering taking Ultram, especially if you've had seizures in the past.
