Does Salvia make seizures worse?

Mon, 07/12/2010 - 18:57
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

I'm 26 and the first time I tried anything I was 22/23. My boyfriend used to grow all sorts of natural "herbs" like that. Stuff you couldn't get at your local smoke shop but still legal. You could get something give you a little rush or something to make you relax. I took a little upper, nothing really happened and I haven't tried anything since. My bf has stopped growing salvia, etc.

Salvia is sage and sage causes seizures.

Recreational drugs are not worth the risk even if you don't have epilepsy.  You might be safer playing with fire.

Don't do it!
