Hello and thanks a lot for the input, especially to nicknick119 for the recommandation of having some coffee but not too much and to Jessica for pointing out the difference between coffee and other things with caffeine (being neither so much of a problem nor of help, as far as i got it).However, fyi, there has been a study in the meantime that might be of interest for you:https://www.epilepsy.com/connect/forum-archive/medication-issues/coffee-and-seizures simply https://tinyurl.com/ya2pxrww

Since I've had seizures for over 20 years resulting from a car accident, for the last 10 years, I've been trying to figure out what triggers them. Your post was 122 days ago, but I hope someone reads this. I agree totally with your post...I've always drank/used a lot of caffeine (Pepsi, tea, chocolate, etc) and the only actual substance that I can relate to seizures is coffee. It is either because of the amount of caffeine in coffee, which is questionable, or something else that affects me. And even 1 cup, if it's strong, will cause a partial, especially if the barometric pressure is low or going down.Thanks for your experiment...hope you're doing fine.
