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 f tn Last night I was 45 minutes late to giving my dog the phenbarbatol ( sp), and his thyroid medication. This morning he had a mild seizure, first one that I am awear of since 3 months. Could being late have caused it this morning? I added a quarter more medication today to each of his dose ( twice a day). I called the vet and they want to recheck his blood levels, which I will do next week.
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 n tn I'm not the Vet, but wanted to say that there is a thread going over in The Pet forum, under Dogs, that may have alot of your answers. It's on the first page titled: "Seizures....Epilepsy?" There are also web sights listed dealing with the subject (On this thread). Maybe this will help you....Good Luck...
Avatar n tn Here is my question when I have my migraines (especially the ones that are sensory triggered) I feel so out of it and my sister swears it is like I am having an absance (sp?) seizure because she says all I do is stare out into space. I did have an EEG and this was "normal." Ever since I had to stay up all night for the EEG I have been in a huge migraine cycle and constantly feel scattered sometimes light headed, and even dizzy.
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.
148588 tn?1465778809 I remember filling out the usual InTake forms, where I listed all the medications I was on, on the first appt at my Treatment Clinic. But then, also, when I ordered my meds ( Pegasys, Ribavirin and Victrelis) from the Specialty Pharmacy, I spoke with a very nice Pharmacist, who also asked me to list any and all medications I was on.
Avatar f tn Does that mean that I am allergic or is that a side effect? I have only had codeine in cough medications. I am having surgery in the near future. What are the derivatives of codeine that I should not be prescribed for pain? I recently had dental surgery and was given demerol for the pain. I did not find it to be be very effective.
Avatar f tn I suffer from gran mall seizures When I had my first seizure a doctor at the hospital said my seizure was caused by stress. Which I didn't think was the case and after further tests it turned out I have epilepsy caused by scarring From some earlier surgery. Just wanted to let you know, that seizures can be caused by stress. I've even seen it listed as one of the trigers for bringing on a seizure. Fatigue can also contribute to seizures.
Avatar n tn my new doctor took me off the meds and said the previous doctor should not have prescribed them to me because i have a seizure disorder, though the old doctor never bothered to have me see a nuerologist to find the cause, i actually noticed a decrease in the seizures when i started the adhd meds. the new doctor sent me to a nuerologist and helped me find a psyc to see if putting me back on the meds would be ok.
Avatar m tn Lastly, there are other medications that can interact with tramadol and make a seizure more likely. If she is taking other medications along with the tramdol, consider visiting www.****.com and go to their drug interaction checker. Enter all of her medications including the tramadol and print out the results and bring it to the ER physician and her prescribing physician for a discussion. Good luck and I hope that she doesn't have any more seizures.
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.

12182312 tn?1427683956 If your doctor does prescribe these medications together, you may need a dose adjustment or special test to safely use both medications. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.".
1745492 tn?1320198340 Especially considering the issues you are conserned about, are listed as acknowledged side affects for the medications your taking, so logically a drug reaction is a possible alternate causation to be considered. I think the best thing to do is discuss everything with your dr, who i hope is a psych who specialises in pwASD with complex issues like yours. Good luck..........
3547166 tn?1347814000 A tracker for seizures that can track the times of day episodes occur and how bad the episodes are. Also the type of seizure, seizure clusters, hospital visits, before and after symptoms like sleepiness and headache. Plus medications and changes to medication.
327385 tn?1378360731 Whether or not a seizure is partial (another term is focal seizure) from the onset helps determine which medications should be used. Dilantin is a good medication for focal seizures, but it has its side effects and there are medications with less side effects for long-term treatment of epilepsy.
327385 tn?1378360731 i think a seizure tracker would be a great idea. when you go to a neuo you keep a seizure diary, so a tracker would be a easy way to keep up with seizures , meds , symptoms,how long seizure lasted. and a migraine tracker . to track headaches, how long lasted,symptoms,meds,where pain is.
Avatar m tn In checking with the drug-checking function on Medscape, no interactions are listed.
Avatar f tn Had to go to Doctor`s Care today, due to a miserable UTI. I am a myoclonic seizure patient and due to this UTI issue Am on no sleep. Not good for seizure condition. The Dr. was aware I had the seizure problem and prescribed cipro, which I had to call and tell them to send me something different. The one at the pharmacy now is Augmentin. Just need a neurologist`s expert opinion as to whether or not it is alright to take Augmentin with my myoclonic seizure condition.
Avatar f tn Or one of the medications I was taking... like a seizure medication (for migraines) or the fact I am going off of effexor (anti-depressant) right now and probably experiencing some withdrawal symptoms (i've been going off of that drug for a very long time now... it's really difficult). But yeah. I think I experienced something like this yesterday. I described my experience really in detail in my other post...
Avatar m tn t know which one is the anti-seizure one... I think it may be the Klonopin. BUT you might have something totally different, and you should see your doctor about them, and if there is any way to make them stop.
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.
