Coffee and seizures

Topic: Medication Issues
Is there any relationship between coffee and seizures? I have heard conflicting advice. My doctors say that there is no research that proves there is a direct relationship between coffee and seizures. What do you think? I know that coffee can cause insomnia and anxiety.

Sometimes I get really bad

Sometimes I get really bad headaches because of my epilepsy. Sometimes the only way to get rid of them is sleep but usually a cup of coffee will stop them. Or at least make them not as bad. At first I thought it might be the caffine but other things with caffeine don't help and sometimes make it worse.
