Question 1

i took phentermine 37.5 at 11am. can i take 150mg of tramadol at 10pm? i have no history of seizures and have horrible knee pain due to a surgical procedure i had done today.

Accepted Answer

Medication: Yes, that should not cause any problems

Question 2

is it safe to take phentramine with seizure medication?

Accepted Answer

Phentermine: Depends on the seizure medication.  Ask your pharmacist to run a drug interaction check with your meds and phentermine.

Question 3

i took 37.5 phentermine at around 1:30 its now 9:20 can i take my 50 mg tramadol?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The two medications don't interact. It is safe to take them both. Hope this helps!

Question 4

what to do if i have p.o.t.s and seizures can this kill off much needed brain cells?

Accepted Answer

No: Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome is an Autonomic nervous system problem, not in the brain. Epilepsy does come from the brain, but seizures do not kill any brain cells (with the rare exception of status epilepticus). In short, neither problem will kill brain cells--unless you do nothing to control them and they lead to disastrous complications. Take care!

Question 5

i have 1.1ug/ml of lamotrigine for seizures in my blood. my neuro says its within normal levels. but i havent been feeling well and getting breakthroughs. is there something i should ask my neuro to help with the breakthroughs?

Accepted Answer

: The usual therapeutic range runs from 2.5-15 mcg/ml, and yours is clearly subtherapeutic.  The goal is to become as seizure-free as possible and not experience episodic seizures.  The discussion should be focused on control and medication that is well tolerated and easy compliance.

Question 6

i have seizures and sometimes i randomly drop things. it is not totally a drop its more like my hand just lets go. cant that be a seizure?

Accepted Answer

Doubt it: A seizure occurs when electrical activity within the brain jumps from its normal channels (nerve to nerve) like a short circuit. It can be focal or generalize to the whole brain. For you to have a "seizure" so focal that you just drop things is unlikely. You may have a nervous disorder that interferes with holding on, but I can't buy the idea of a brief "seizure" doing it.

Question 7

my aunt(from dad side)'s daughter&my little brother both have had history with seizures.is it hereditary? are my future children at risk for epilepsy?

Accepted Answer

Consult neurologist: There are many reasons for seizures to manifest  in children .Some of them may be hereditary .There are different type of seizures ,some hereditary  others are not .These two children may or may not be getting same type .Consult neurologist about these children ,he can examine and explain about the risk of epilepsy in your children .

Question 8

hi dr,

my fiance has epilepsy, but he doesnt get the seizure very bad.. its only like a shake and then its over. hes currently on navalpro.  is there any other medication he can take to stop the shake?

thank you

Accepted Answer

Neurologist: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see a neurologist. 
Wish you and your fiance good health!

Question 9

what cause a seizures?

Accepted Answer

Many reasons: Any type of brain problem may result in a abnormal area which becomes a nidus for seizure activity.  Causes include head injury, brain infections, brain tumors, toxins or poisons, usage or discontinuation or alcohol or recreational drugs, medication reactions, problems with blood sugar or other chemicals, etc.

Question 10

No clinical seizure: Pt. Does not show clinical seizure but neurophysiological testing like eeg will show seizure discharges.
