If propofol can cause myoclonic jerks than how can it raise the siezure threshold?

Anesthetic vs AED: Propofol is an anesthetic med used to induce coma or sedation. One way to stop status epilepticus is medication-induced coma. However, while Propofol can induce coma, it is not an antiepileptic drug (AED) such as Lorazepam or phenobarbital. Thus, Propofol can induce coma to stop a protracted seizure and simultaneously lower (not raise) the seizure threshold. Good question! good luck!

well....: Myoclonus is not necessarily the same as seizures. Not all myoclonus is epileptic.
