Should I Take Her To The ER As She Has Not Slept In 4 Days?
my wife had a recent seizure, is on seizure meds, and is having withdrawal symptoms withdrawing from tramadol. she has not slept in 4 days. She took ambien for two days and still is not sleepiing. i am waiting for her dr to call me back, but should i take her to the ER
If the seizures become frequent, I recommend going to the ER for an urgent treatment and some blood lab tests. Meanwhile, I recommend taking lorazepam 2.5 instead of ambien, to help her sleep.
Hope to have been helpful! Kind regards, Dr. Aida

Should I Take Her To The ER As She Has Not Slept In 4 Days?
Hello! Thank you for asking on HCM! I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms seem to be related to withdrawal symptoms. You should know that sleep deprivation can trigger seizures. If the seizures become frequent, I recommend going to the ER for an urgent treatment and some blood lab tests. Meanwhile, I recommend taking lorazepam 2.5 instead of ambien, to help her sleep. Hope to have been helpful! Kind regards, Dr. Aida
