Common Questions and Answers about Seizure alcohol
seizure
Hello, I very much need an answer because my doctor will not give me a straight answer. I'm currently on Lamictal (800mg a day) and Zonegran (200mg a day) and I'm a college student so I tend to drink. I've never had a seizure while consuming alcohol but I'm terrified when doing so. So heres my question...
When I drink (beer) with my meds, will it bring on a seizure? or just enhance the side effects?
Please I very much need to know asap! Maybe even stories would helpl too.
Hi there,
I'm a 27yr old female and have had migraines for about 6 yrs now (the migraines are accompanied by a variety of symtoms, visual problems + physical weaknesses). Recently (after a week of heavy enough drinking/partying) I collapsed and had some sort of seizure, I was conscious threwout, but couldnt control any part of my body and was unable to speak (I developed some sort of severe stutter/stammer and couldnt get any words out).
I've been reading on this site for at least a year. Now, I'm trying to figure out how to log in and join the discussion. Anyway, I'm also an alcoholic with epilepsy. One reason your wife may be having seizuries during her binges is that alcohol decreases the effectiveness of some seizure meds. Also, it's easy to forget to take meds when you're drunk. After my last seizure, I googled epilepsy and alcohol and found some good articles on the subject.

My husband has occasional seizures. He's had them off and on most of his life but now they are getting more frequent and are worse seizures. He' 41. He currently takes Keppra twice daily and is on high blood pressure medicine (both of which have just been increased). He also takes Lorazepam for "emergencies" when he feels a seizure coming on. My concern is that his doctor may not fully understand how much he drinks (alcohol).
Your husband just absolutely positively never touch alcohol again. In the United States most practicioners don't provide anti-seizure medications until the third seizure. You have a life-threatening situation. These episodes mandate revocation of a drivers license is every state in the U.S. until at least a year has gone by without seizures. An accident with a car and a history of seizures is a felony, notwithstanding the danger to others.
A few minutes later he was throwing up. Then got really tired afterwards. He does have a seizure disorder. And is taking medication 2 times a day.
Why did this happen? Im scared and don't really know what to do. Was it the weed that made him do this, or the medication he's taking? I don't want him to do it again but I'm afraid he'll want to and that one of these times he's not gonna gain consciousness....
Would like some help. How long does it take one to get alcohol neuropathy? I have been drinking only beer for about 4 years (lite beer actually). If you break it down to an average, I have been drinking on average about 4 beers a day, some days more and some days not at all, while some days would reach 8 to 10. That's why I say an average of 4. Just wondering what my changes of getting alcohol neuropathy is.

My husband is 30 and yesterday had a severe seizure. His body tensed up, and his eyes rolled in the back of his head and then he started compulsiving and spitting up. I believe this was a seizure. After wards he became very combative and was very confused. He doesn't remember the seizure at all. The doctor said that it was due to substances abuse.
My question is with him taking these two type of medications he is still having seizure and cant sleep. Me as a mother do know what to think and do to help him. Can someone help me with this. My son loves to go out and dance and maybe has a couple of beers is the beer causing the seizures or is the body heat causing the seizure? What should I do when he falls on the floor and jurks? He comes out of the seizure within 5 mins.
However what I am worried about is I ever have to stop drinking for some reason will I be in serious risk of a seizure since both wellbutrin and alcohol lower seizure threshold? Or am I risk of seizure even if I continue to drink this much (I wont allow myself to drink anymore than 4 drinks a day). I will drink heavily some nights and I am not worried about blackouts and puking and what not because its all part of it.
Before this bender, I would go out twice a week on weekends with my friends and drink heavily. I have a few questions. 1. Have I drank for a long enough time for a seizure or Delirium tremens to be likely? 2. How long will it take for the withdrawal symptoms to subside from a bender of 13 days?
