Biotin and seizures

Wed, 12/16/2015 - 13:07

I've been seizure free since june and 2 weeks ago out of nowhere I started having seizures again 2 big ones and lots of complex/ simple partial and didn't have a clue.

I never mentioned to my neurologist I'd started taking biotin because I wanted to grow my hair but I realised it started round the same time and I've seen a couple of posts saying people think it's caused it.

I'm going to see a pharmacist tomorrow, but does anyone else have experience of it? I don't want to admit to most neurologist that I was taking it and didn't tell her because I really didn't think it was necessary. 

 

Thanks :-)
