I just had a seizure this morning. First time ever and I am almost 37. I have taken tramadol many many times without a problem. I began taking Wellbutrin 2 months ago. I rarely take Tramadol anymore, but took it once last month while on 100 mg/day of Wellbutrin and it was ok. I am now on 300mg/day of Wellbutrin and I took 100 mg if Tramadol this morning after taking my Wellbutrin and I had a seizure within 30 minutes. It was so scary and thank god my husband hadnt left fir work. I could not remember anything when I came out of the seizure (not my age, what day it was, where I work, my childrens names...nothing) slowly things have started coming back memory wise throughout tge day. When I got to the hospital and they had me sign the paperwork I looked at the date (feb 7th) and told them it was not february. I was 100% sure it was not feb and they kept nicely telling that it is feb. I was crying hysterically bc I couldnt remember things and now my headache etc is horrufying from the seizure. I will never take either of these meds again. Please be very cautious taking this combo. I would hate for this to happen to someone else so I thought id share my story.

Tramadol was prescribed to me for migraines and that is what I took it for.

See my post above --blessedly, I did not have a seizure. This is a VERY bad combination and more needs to be said about it MORE strongly in the way of warnings. I am glad you are alright!! GH

I'm. glad, too. Scary!
New migraine remedy in order, I guess. I didn't know tramadol was effective for migraines.
Best to you. Thanks for your experience.
