I was just wondering if anyone takes any anti anxiety medications? After my last seizure I have had lots of anxiety and my neurologist thinks that may have been the cause of it. My general physician wants to put me on a daily anti anxiety medication but has to research which ones are good for epileptics.

I have found taking a half Xanax (of a .5) helps on my seizure days.

I have catemenial (sp) seizures, so every 14 days (ovulation/period) comes the days I have to be careful. Like others, it’s a 3-day span. I don’t drive and I really watch my meds to be exactly “on time”. I’m on Keppra, Dilantin and Neurontin.

So for those few days of the month, the Xanax is a godsend since mine seem to be activated when I’m stressed.

I wish you all the best.
