Is It Okay To Take Subutex By Myself With The History Of Seizures?

Hello, with a past history of seizures would the patch or subutex be alright for myself to take. I have been take tramadol for six or seven years, and it is just not working. Also, I was considering Nucynta but it does have some warnings about seizures. Have a friend that does get great results from Nucynta. Thank You-Gary
