worried about seizure - Epilepsy Message Board

Hi,
I was taking Lexapro from my Doctor. I switched from that to Tramadol (for OCD). Did anyone ever get a weird tingling feeling in there head when they had a seizure. This is the first time I'm nervous about getting one at work. I had my first seizure (grand-mal) in February and then another grand-mal in June. Both were at home. I just don't like this weird tingly, slightly light headed feeling. Just trying to get some information if anyone can let me know. Thanks!!

Tramadol/Ultram is not recommended for those with seizure disorders, and its primary use is for pain....but most meds have under the table uses. It seems odd to take you off of a seizure med compeletely, and change you to a totally different class of med, especially one not noted for being seizrue friendly..... I'd call and complain about the symptoms
