Common Questions and Answers about Can antibiotics cause seizures

antibiotics

Avatar f tn I am sorry, but most antibiotics can cause seizures as complications and some like erythromycin and related antibiotics affect the efficacy of seizure medications. But if you need to take antibiotic, augmentin should be ok, but please take a multivitamin B with it. There is no antibiotic (in my knowledge) which can be considered 100% safe, but like I said earlier, the incidence of seizures with augmentin is pretty low. Hope this helps.
Avatar f tn No bipolar disorder doesn't cause seizures and Lamictal and Depakoate are actually anti-convulsants. However, some medications as an adverse side effect can cause seizures. She needs to see a neurologist and get an EEG to determine the cause of the seizures. If it comes from one of the medications they can change it to another in the same class.
Avatar n tn it is the positive effects that should be focused on while dealing with a sickness that marijuana can help suppress. The only way that THC can cause seizures is if you are in a depressive or fearful state because as I said before it expands your thoughts, and if you do use it in that state it will most likely send you into a panic attack and/or a seizure.
Avatar n tn I believe your recent seizure during the day has nothing to do with the antibiotics that you were given at the hospital. Just because all of your seizures seem to only happen at bedtime does not mean they will not strike at some other place and time. I have noticed that if i am run down I will have more seizures.
Avatar f tn s bad enough to cause seizures, it is well entrenched in your central nervous system. Seizures can cause brain damage, and you could also be at risk of a stroke, too, not to mention significant injury by falling. I don't mean to sound ominous, but seizures are very serious, and you'll need some serious antibiotics to knock back a Lyme infection that bad.
Avatar m tn They thought from symptoms we described it was acid reflux. Next night he had two more severe seizures and we videotaped it. They confirmed they were seizures then. We discontinued this med.
Avatar f tn I am not certain knowledge of whether the hepatitis and/or E. coli toxin can cause seizures directly. But, if you have had fevers due to these organisms this may be the cause. Have you had any high fevers? Just be sure to tell the doctor everything. If the current doctor or the hepatologist he/she doesn't get into the seizure problem or fix it I would then see a neurologist and get an EEG.
Avatar f tn Stomach cramps with antibiotics are not uncommon (the antibiotics make the muscles of the intestine move more quickly, and can cause loose stool as well). However, fever and itching can be a sign of an allergy. It is possible to develop an allergy at any time in your life, even to an antibiotic you have taken before. I hope this helps.
10094372 tn?1407761844 but the problem is that I am not able to get the reason(cause) of epileptic fits even after all kinds of diagnoses. Can anyone tell me what can be the probable reason and how long will it take me to recover.
Avatar m tn The incident that caused the concussion can often be accompanied by structural damage to brain tissue, as well as the rupture of blood vessels, which can cause a bleed. This is what Drnee refers to as underlying brain injury. The bleed may be slow and continue for several days, or even weeks. A concussion is a specific syndrome secondary to a blow to the head. Impacts to the skull that produce a concussion can certainly cause death, if not quickly addressed in an appropriate medical facility.
Avatar f tn He obviously has an issue with that and low blood pressure can cause the dizziness and pre-syncope. You never really said what happened to him while having that test done, so we don't ACTUALLY know what is going on there. You might want to write on some of the nuerological forums, maybe they can help you over there.
Avatar n tn Alcohol use (or withdrawal) can cause seizures. And even though marijuana may not typically cause seizures, everyone is different. We are all wired differently and even though one person may be fine when using something, another person can have a totally different experience. People can wind up having seizures, heart attacks, strokes, etc. I'm not sure what your history is, but however you got to where you are now, you need to make changes and put it all away.
1677750 tn?1304513196 Ok, I will start by saying good job on taking control when your son was having seizures. I can probably say that 90% it was seizures. If he was not having episodes will the eeg was going on there is nothing to say that they were not seizures. This is what I would do. Have another EEG done, i know you said the tics have stopped but lets make sure there is nothing else going on in his brain. One side effect from seizures is delays in children. They get better so there is hope.
