1559533 tn?1308948561 Yes, anti-seizure medications (Tegretol, Gabapentin, Lyrica, etc) are used to treat neuropathic pain (things like Trigeminal Neuralgia or Dysthesias.) They can also be used to treat seizure disorders. They did not seem to effect my diagnosis. They did not effect my neuro exams, MRI, VEP, LP, etc.

Avatar n tn This is because your husband is fine one day, but when he is given those first four medications for his sinuses, the next day he has a seizure. You can confirm this possible drug-induced seizure by doing an online search of each medication, for side effects and interactions, using the EXACT spellings as printed on your documentation. As for his needing to return to work, your husband almost died.
Avatar m tn Hi there, i had a brain injury in feb and havent had any seizures yet but i was told in order to get back to driving/work etc i might have to take an anti-seizure medication. What medications are there? And i was told by someone else that they will slow down my recovery. because they are stimulants? in what way would they slow it down?
Avatar f tn The pain appears to get worse following seizure events. He has be having a run of CPS recently and the pain is becomming intollerable for him. No one can tell us why he is having so much pain or what is causing it therefore nothing is done for it. I have tried drugs like brufen and panadol and panadeine. He claims these do nothing and refuses to take them for that reason. I need to stop his pain somehow.
21064 tn?1309308733 I could really use your help. I am trying to compile a list of common heart medications for one of the Health Pages. So many times someone asks for suggestions, about side effects, etc. It would be great to have a place closeby where we could provide a hyperlink to more information on medications common for heart patients. Will you please help me by letting me know what medication(s) you are currently taking, or what medication(s) you would like to know more about?

Avatar m tn Make a list of any new foods, medications, vaccines, or even home that you may have moved into. It could be triggered by an alergy that you don't know about. NO BATHS water is a real danger if your seizures last that long.
382218 tn?1341181487 Unfortunately because of the rules in this forum I cannot comment on all the off-label medications which we use, but suffice it to say there are many more and they usually fall under the categories of anti-seizure medications and antidepressants. I do not use cannibinoids, nor do I personally recommend them. As one patient in rural Pennsylvani said very correctly: "MS is a disease that affects the brain, so why would you want to take a medications that affects your brain?
398501 tn?1334702273 Hi- My husband takes Keppra 2 x 1000mg daily. He had a TC seizure at least once a week. Since Keppra he has been seizure free(16 Months now) In relation to his side effects tiredness seems to be the main one, he also gets mild anxiety which only started since he started taking Keppra. Compared to other medications the side effects are not bad. The most common side effects generally are: Sleepiness. Dizziness and unsteadiness. Weakness. Mild agitation, anxiety, or depression.
1175033 tn?1492201228 I started taking Valium recently and noticed that the bottle warned not to consume grapefruit of the juice at all while taking this medication. This was a issue for me because I drink hansen's natural cane sugar soda with real grapefruit extract and I had to give that up, but I really didn't want to so I read up on what it will do. One article I came across said it would increase the potency of certain meds by 400% http://www.mayoclinic.
327385 tn?1378360731 A seizure tracker and a headache tracker are great ideas. We'll add these to the list and let you know when they're available. Thanks for the suggestions!
Avatar m tn The next thing i know my mother is having a seizure (she is not epileptic, and has NEVER had a seizure.) I ran out of the room screaming for the nurses... next thing i know a code blue is being called (after spending so much time in hospitals you know that- that means her heart has stopped.) An ICU doctor came out and told me that they suspected some upper GI bleeding and they were going to mover her to surgical ICU and probably have to do an edoscopy to stop the bleeding.
Avatar f tn On any other medications? Some lower seizure threshold. Also side note epileptic and non-epileptic seizures can happen at the same time... I go through them both I’ve had over 30 seizures since November 2017.
Avatar n tn Thank you for your comments. What kind of questions should I ask him? My blood preassure used to only go up when I went into his office. The old white coat syndrome. The cholestrol hasn't gone down but he didn't seem to be concerned at first until the new standards came out. Even off the pravachol for 2 months when my husband was down last year, then going back on it showed no difference. So I do think that the medicine is not working.
620048 tn?1358018235 I've known myself to make some mistakes and my mother caught me in one or two when I used to fill her organizers. Here's what I've found helps. I keep a word document on the computer of the meds I take, dosage and at what time(s) of day. Whenever there is a change or addition to the list it is easy to make it clearly on my paper plan. I've let my husband know where to find this list in case a doctor or caregiver needs the information someday.
Avatar n tn thankyou for getting back with me i just have sooooo many thoughts about this my current neurologist claims that i am having seizurers i have currently have become my own advocate about 4 years ago i was seeing a different neur and she only said that i had a problem with my brain stem and the ns that i had seen said that surgery would was not recommended until i start to have more problems with that being said back in nov i was at work abut my co workers said that i was having a seizure since t
Avatar f tn There's a bunch of pain relieving medications without Tylenol, so I'll give you a pretty big list, but keep in mind that some of them might be completely inappropriate for whatever pain it is you've got. Your physician will know which one might work best for you. Opiates like codeine (hydrocodone and oxycodone) are usually compounded with another medicine, like the acetaminophen you mentioned, but also with aspirin.
Avatar f tn Robitussin and saline nasal spray. Mske sure there is nothing else in there.
