Letting others know your seizure triggers may help family and friends know when you might have a seizure and help your health care professionals know when to recommend ‘as needed’ rescue treatments. Include the following information on your Seizure Plan.
Triggers: Write down what factors may make you more likely to have a seizure or times of day or month that your seizures may occur, for example at night, before a menstrual period, when waking up, or when sick.
As you learn more about your seizures, make sure to update this section regularly.
If you aren’t sure of your seizure triggers, visit My Resource Kit and print off a seizure calendar.
