Life Threatening Tramadol Side Effects:

Seizures are the most important tramadol side

effect to consider. They are more common in people with a history of seizures,

and if you have a history of seizures you should be sure your physician knows about

this history, and if used tramadol dosing should be minimized. The other serious

side effects can be primarily grouped into the allergic side effects including

angioedema, anaphylaxis, severe rashes including the Stevens-Johnson Syndrome and

toxic epidermal necrolysis, and those side effects shared with most opioids including

withdrawal syndrome if discontinued suddenly, dependency and abuse, respiratory

depression, and depression/suicide. Other serious tramadol side effects can be the

serotonin syndrome, and orthostatic hypotension (drop in blood pressure on sitting

or standing).
