And it boosts the metabolism of various neurotransmitters which are needed for normal brain function. This vitamin is involved in critical functions of the nervous system. The all-star vitamin seems to be Vitamin B-6. My thought/question would be if these supplements make us worse post-seizure, wouldn't they in fact be seizure triggers? Maybe not triggers on there own, but when combined with other triggers like reduced sleep and stress. I don't know if it's all or just some of those effects that seem worse.
The post-seizure symptoms I have last all day, and are feeling washed out, exhaustion, "numbness", mentally not really there, off-balance and difficulty walking straight. due to the potential bone-weakening effects of tegretol, but have never noticed any negative effects from these. I also take calcium with D as advised by the Dr. The vitamins that seem most likely to make me feel worse post-seizure are Omega 3 and my multivitamin.

Between all the different types of seizures, and triggers, and meds…there is no one-size-fits-all solution. But I also know from personal experience that epilepsy is a very unique condition. So I know a thing or two about this stuff. I worked as a writer in the health and wellness field for more than 10 years. Supplements (from Costco): Fish oil, senior-related multivitamins, various chrondoitin/MSM/glucosamine supplements for joint issues, "FocusFactor" ("brain food"), Folic acid, a generic version of Centrum for seniors (I'm 61), and a few more. My meds: Tegretol (for seizures) Levothyroxine (low thyroid) Strattera, Zoloft, Aricept, Namenda (all for brain function/memory enhancement resulting from seizures and 40-plus years of seizure meds). He never mentioned any potential downsides to taking them along with my Tegretol and other Rx meds, and I have never experienced any problems. I have been taking vitamins and supplements for years at the advice of my neurologist (Robert N. I hope to get some feedback on this thank you! When I did these symtops seemed to have started again, is it my imagination? Or is it really a bad combination to put together that's the cause?

I mean after all I'm taking meds for anxiety, and depression. I was taking some vitamins for health issues at one point in time, and I noticed when I started taking the vitamins that I started feeling more edgy, anciouse, and I'm not sure if a little more deppressed. I'm taking lamictal 150mg 2x a day, ritalin 5mg once a day, vimpat 150mg 2x a day, zonagram 100mg once a day, and serquel 250mg at night only. I would like to start off saying that I've had my seizures for 37yrs now.
