Tripping Acid

You know I've always wondered if my tripping on acid has caused my epilepsy diagnosis. When I was about 17 I tried acid for the first time. Not long after I started to have grand mals. I'm 30 now. I still have seizures... I'd say about 3 a year. It's better than the 3 a week I started with. For the most part they're controled with meds. I won't trip on acid any longer. Ecstasy and coke seem to trigger seizures when I'm sober about a week after I do the drug. So I stopped doing them as well. I have a medicinal card for pot... that seems to be the best option for me. It's been a long ride... this whole epilepsy thing. Now I see it as more of a blessing in disquise. It made me interested in my health, my well-being. The healthier I get the more I become interested in other things as well... there's more to life than the 'night life'. Im excited to see the rest.

I would beg to question weqther or not you have epilepsy. Epilepsy is categorized by 2 or more recurrent seisures and outside of epilepsy,  recreational drug use can cause seizures. Id see another neurologist for a second opinion. I had a friend drop to the ground with a full tonic clonic seizure ehile playing a video game the day after a night if drinking and he doesnt not have epilepsy it was a one time thing. 

it doesn’t matter if you have just one seizure you can still be epileptic. I was diagnosed with epilepsy about a year ago right after i had only one seizure. i’ve had more since then, but epilepsy is diagnosed based on a number of tests done on your brain like an eeg, cat scan etc. during an eeg they can tell if your brain waves are different than normal and purposefully put your brain under stress to see how it responds. so unless you’re a doctor, i wouldn’t question someone’s diagnosis.
