I think that's very rare. Like, on the level of serotonin syndrome with SSRIs. The only people who really need to be careful, I think, are those with a history of seizures. I'd be more scared of Demerol than of Ultram.
Yes, it's a weak opioid. But it's just lame -- not seriously dangerous (in general). Taking huge doses would be bad. That's why doctors take the dose recommendation seriously (although I suspect that even that recommendation is very conservative).
Do you want to hear about something even lamer than Ultram? Ultracet! (I'm not kidding. This is real. *sigh*)
