Does Salvia make seizures worse?

Topic: My Epilepsy Diary
k, I have patial complex seizures about once a month and usually from laque of sleep. Usually I will only have them while im sleeping unless i have gone a long time without sleep. well my question is is I have experimented with different recreational drugs. I have smoked marajuana for a year er so and it didnt seem to make my seizures any worse. however I have have tried ecstasy and it didnt either only I only tried it once cuz I have herd of them making people have seizures. but the other day a friend got some Salvia and he wants me to try it. Now Salvia is 100% leagal and you can buy it at your local smoke shop. My question is does anyone know if it will make my siezures worse or make me more likely to have one? also if anyone knows if shrooms has an effect on seizures too then any info would be greatly appreciated but mostly i want to know about the SALVIA. Thank you

Im 30 years old and was diagnosed when I was 18. I also have seizures only in the morning and from lack of sleep. Im not sure about salvia, but i have done a lot of ecstasy in my early 20s. I would say that yes they can trigger seizures. In my experience i would have a seizure about a week after taking the x, like clockwork. Ive smoked weed since I was 15... and ive read in books on natural ways to help cure epilepsy that weed actually helps. Get back to me if you find anything out about the magic shrooms... good luck

I did magic shrooms a week ago and did have a seizer a day later even my buddy had one at a rave he went to and he had a seizure and has no history of epilepsy it go's deep in your mind and opens your third eye I say dont do it but what rights do I have to tell you what to do and what not to do so if you do try magic shrooms stay full with positev positive thoughts or you will have a bad trip
