How dangerous is Tramadol to organs?

[roze0037]

I read on here that tramadol can be harmful to the liver. Obviously anything in high amounts can be problematic to the liver, I myself take varying levels of tramadol, never going above 400mg in a 5 hour period. I have kept to this for about 3 months. Never had a seizure or anything, really no side affects at all. Also I take zoloft and only recently I read that SSRI's and tram can interact negatively. I take zoloft nightly at the same time but I take tramadol at least 6 hours beforehand. Thanks in advance.

unless you have a pre-existing liver condition or are taking insanely high doses often I wouldn't be too worried.

I was hoping the 400mg in a 5hr period was a typo

About a yer and a half ago I was abusing tramadol, big time, and YES it can be abused. Here in Michigan it isn't considered a control substance so I was calling in my own prescriptions, and presciptions under others names as well (diff story, long one), Anyways I was taking about 40-50 (50 mg) daily and I had four grand mal seizures. Never had one before nor had anyone in my family. Granted I was taking waaaaay too much but they do lower your seizure threshold.

Think that stopped me tho? Hell naw. INTEREVENTION time, again, from my fam. They are getting good at it too.
