How soon after stopping tramadol can I begin to take SSRI’s (Lexapro) without the risk of seizures?

I was on Lexapro, but had to stop taking it due to pain issues where I had to start taking tramadol. Was advised not to take these two together because of the risk of seizures. Now, I am severely depressed and I want to get back on SSRI’s right away. Does anybody know how long I must wait once I stop taking the tramadol?

Carisoprodol, Fioricet, Tramadol

    Hey,i was on tramadol too and my doctor put me on lexapro at the same time… i never knew anything about the seizure risk, thats scary. The normal waiting time with any med that can effect anything is 2 weeks! If your really worried see your doctor about it!!
