Default Tramadol - ex-epileptic

I have 40 pills of Tramadol, but have been doing some research and read from numerous sources that this medication can induce seizures. Now I haven't had a seizure in about ten years or so, so I am wondering if this is safe to take.

I don't want to end up giving myself a seizure because of a pill. Help.

EDIT: I have had percocets and hydrocodone in the past, and after further inspection I realized that percocet have the same warning about epileptics in the description. Whats the deal?

You have NO business taking tramadol. Epileptics should NEVER be given tramadol. The possibility of seizures with either hydrocodone or percs isn't anywhere near as likely as with tramadol. Get rid of it. God bless.
