Ultram ER side effects

I am in worse pains since I am taking Ultram Er 100 mgs. The pain Management Doctor can not understand that I am having those lower back pains if I am under the medication for three Weeks already.
The Doctor, who is on vacations, suggested that I should go to the emergency room of any Hospital. I will finish the story later.

I have been taking Ultram 50mg 3 times daily for almost 8 years. I had severe back pain that extended down my left leg. I went to a Neurologist and he performed back surgery. I did quite well for about 3 months and then was experiencing the same problems. He then prescribed Ultram ER and it has worked great. The only side affects I have recognized have been sleeplessness, hot flashes, nausea that goes away in about 1 hour after taking it, and super energy. The benefits far outway the side affects. My 34 year old brother was prescribed the 50 mg. tablets and he had to be transported to the emergency room because of a seizure. Needless to say he was advised not to ever take another pill.

Three days into the ultram 200mg, once a day, I experienced a "tonic clonic seizure" what is formally known as a grand mal seizure.

From what my husband tells me it was so severe that he had to call the paramedics. I don't remember the entire seizure at all. I faintly remember seeing 4 heads coming to me down the hallway, and that was all I remember. John, my husband told me that was the paramedics and the fire department. Since they did not see the seizure taking place I was not taken to the emergency room or hospital.

I do remember laying on the bed for 4 days after the seizure unable to move, eat or drink. I was completely exhausted. I've a follow up appointment with my primary care physician on Tuesday, as in required by law to be seen and I believe I may have to sign a paper requiring me not to drive for the next 6 months.

I'm worried to say the least. I'd never had a seizure before in my life and I'm 47 years old now. I'm still experiencing nausea, inability to eat...even though its been just 2 weeks since the seizure.

I have been going through depression and extreme exhaustion and not wanting to be alone in a room since the seizure. The abdominal pains feel almost like when a menstrual period will start, severe enough to make one bend over double and an aching inside as well. Having had a hysterectomy over 7 years ago, I know that is not the issue.

Nausea, sweating, depression, itching
