epilepsy and MDMA
Fri, 04/14/2017 - 01:15Topic: Young Adults
Hi,
I'm 20 years old.
So for the past year or so I think I have been having petit mal seizures and didn't realize it. My grandfather developed epilepsy when he was 50 so I am assuming I got it from him. Recently I have been going to concerts and taking MDMA. the last concert I went to I had my first Grand Mal a week later. The EMTs were unsure if I had multiple Grand Mal seizures or if I had one continuous one. 2 weeks later I had an eeg done where they diagnosed me with generalized epilepsy and put me on 500mg of keppra (2 pills twice a day). I am going to another concert tomorrow and I want to roll again it's been over a month since I have last rolled, about a month since the grand mal and about 3 weeks since my last petit mal seizure ( when this happened I wasn't diagnosed and refused to believe I could be epileptic so I wasn't taking any meds). What do you think? is it safe to roll?

If your MDMA is a band fine

If your MDMA is a band fine have fun,, If it is a drug then don't use it because it can counter your medications and something might happen that you don't want to happen. I am older so I don't know the bands that you listen to or their names. When I was young we had bands like KIZZ and ABBA so watch yourself

If you have been taking your medication then go roll. Just be careful . Read the triggers listed but you are like everybody else. I went to concerts and clubs and did what my friends did. I just watched myself and had a friend with me that knew what needed to be done. So if you have a friend teach them. All the information you need is on this site. They also have a 24/7 help line which is 1-800-332-1000. You might also get a medical ID bracelet. wear it so if anything does happen they know what could be your problem. Which is also why a friend needs to know.
