My Wife Needs A 12 Panel Hair Follicle Test
Written By admin on
Hi
I need a 12 panel hair follicle test for my wife who is a former runner. She participated in this really tough popular marathon called Rim Rock Run. The marathon took place in Grand Junction, Colorado. This marathon is tough because the trail continuously increases in elevation until the runners are at the highest point of about 6000 feet. We need the 12 panel hair follicle test because she began this marathon with a sprained knee and by the end she needed surgery. After the surgery the doctor prescribed 50 mg of Tramadol. This was not enough. My wife couldn’t sleep because of all the pain. She pleaded with her doctor to prescribe more but he didn’t. My wife started to take more than the recommended amount and once her prescription was out, she obtained it illegally. My wife began having seizures so we took her to the doctor and he said that some how the seizures were related to her Tramadol abuse. We fought very hard to break her of this addiction. All of this was two years ago but I found out from my daughter that she recently had a seizure. My wife says she hasn’t abused Tramadol since leaving rehab but I don’t believe her. Please help me I need to test so we can figure out if these seizures are related to abuse. Timothy W, Houston Texas
Hi Timothy,
Here at AMH Nationwide we will be happy to help you with a 12 panel hair follicle test during this difficult time. Unfortunately, healthy individuals who become addicted to opioids after some kind of medical procedure is not uncommon. Tramadol is a synthetic pharmaceutical drug 
commonly prescribe by doctors for pain management because it has a lower risk for addiction and respiratory depression. It is actually sometimes used to treat opioid withdrawal. Tramadol is only about 10-25 percent as potent as morphine. Although tramadol is considered a weaker opioid, abuse or addiction can lead to fatal risks. Tramadol abuse has been linked to hypertension, serotonin syndrome, seizures and mania activation. Seizures usually occur within the first couple of hours of abuse. If your wife’s seizure was from tramadol abuse she likely ingested it right before. Abuser are 5 times more likely to experience these seizures. I recommend getting your wife tested as soon as possible. The quicker you can prove the cause of this seizure the safer. We recommend contacting a health professional right away as the seizures may not be due to tramadol abuse. Feel free to contact our office at anytime for more information on how to set up this test in the Houston area.
