zoloft and seizures
Thu, 01/26/2006 - 22:07Hi, I was on zoloft before my brain injury, i was increased after, when diagonsed with seizure disorder I was incresed to 200 mg, at that time my seizures became "uncontrolable". In doing some research I found that zoloft should not be given to in patients with brain injury or nuerological disorders, because in some instances zoloft can cause seizures. I called my primary and she weened me off zoloft, my nuerologist said that this can be true in some patients, I was also on dilant at the time, i am now on tegratol,,,, has anyone one else had a similar experience?

They way I understood the answer to my question, is that the zoloft which I already have sent away for, as I get my meds through this mail in pharmacy as I use to work for this company that helps me pay for it that way. Anyway, I do have epilepsy and just was wondering if the medicine zoloft will increase any seizure activity?
