Question: I am on zonegran seizure medication for two seizures i had from what I think were head injures from crazy deployments while i was in the military but my doc wants to say I am an epileptic. Regardless I have been taking zonegran 200 mg every night for the last year. I was medically released from military abruptly after my last seizure and this bad tank crash in the middle east. I wasn't able to walk for several months and got quickly addicted to the high level pain meds and got help and then have transitioned down to tramadol but now i feel like i am addicted to that even though i am only taking 4 to 6 XXXXXXX a day (the dose prescribed), actually i have only been on 4/day the past week, i know what addiction feels like and when i tried to lower my intake i started to feel the symptoms of withdrawal so naturally i am nervous. Worse off, I have had a hard time transitioning to the civilian world, I am not a dumb girl and i have worked hard my whole life and don't want to be victim to drugs, i graduated from USAFA, have a masters degree in business and a house but i have kinda lost it since i left the only lifestyle i knew and was somewhat thrown out of the military and my family doesn't understand. To make matters worse i went to a civilian therapist doctor who did some crazy tests and thinks I have ADHD and was surprised i was able to get into USAFA, she prescribed me a drug called ritalin but i just did online research after taking my 20 mg of it that ritalin and tramadol have a negative side effect. Worse off i only took 3 tramadol yesterday, took my ritalin today b/c i thought it best to try a drug on a saturday and then saw the web posts about the bad interaction...do i need to go to an ER??? i have not take my tramadol today yet at all, but i know my body is sweating and i can't tell if its sweating from ritalin or from not taking my two tramadol in the am and my two tramdol in the afternoon? and now i don't want to take any b/c of the ritalin i took. My heart is not racing, i feel fine other than sweating but i can feel my back pain...what should i do? obviously i did not mention to my therapist i was on tramadol which was dumb bc she probably would not have put me on it, and i didn't know her yet and hadn't gotten to the whole addiction part but she also thinks i have anxiety..anyways i wanted to talk to her b/c i have read that suboxone has been used for strong narcotic dependency but i am not sure if it still works for tramadol? what is your opinion. also i read i could have a seizure for stopping cold XXXXXXX on tramadol and not titrating down properly...is that true too, I'm kinda freaking out right now
