2. My daughter had a seizure on Tramadol last week

She was given a prescription for Tramadol for a low back injury. It evidently reacted with two SSRIs she was taking. There was no warning from the pharmacy about the potential drugs' interaction.

When I did some research, I found that combining Tramadol with SSRIs can cause seizures -- and can even be fatal.

Good thing my daughter wasn't driving when she had the seizure.
