After reading your question and reading the answer, I was compelled to write. Thier are alot of questions about this subject. To begin, drugs themselves are dangerous, and not to mention illegal. To mix drugs and drinking and being an epileptic is NOT a good mixture, but a recipe for diasater. It is true that you never know when your ticket is up on this earth, but by doing what you are doing, it increases your chances of that "time card" being punched. If you have read that doing drugs causes seizures, then, I think you have answered your own question. Seizure medication clearly state to not take with other drugs or drinking. It could decrease the effectivness of the medication. And not taking the seizure medication at all is something only your Nero can decide. I have had epilepsy for 13 yrs, and i would occasionally drink back then, and when i would, guess what? I would have a seizure. I stopped, even if i would still have them, but by not drinking, i was helping decrease my chances. The bottom line is that your doctor, and ONLY your doctor can answer your questions.
Good luck to you.

Well kid, I've a lot of stuff in that genre also and from what I've gathered if you're gonna have a seizure you're gonna have a seizure, sure what you put into your body might effect that , but if you're gonna have to live with them anyways why let them stand in the way of having a little fun. As epileptics we all know what we're up against and what the consequenses of doing whatever can be. So have fun party hard while you can because one day you might not be able to.
