A member asked:

Can ms cause you to have seizures?

Yes, can happen: However, rather uncommon and likely incidence well under 10% of all patients, but have encountered this on occasion. Discuss with your doctor as a simple switch to a more potent medication and protection with an anti-epileptic drug should suffice.

Seizures and MS: About 2% of people with MS may have a seizure during their lifetime. This is slightly more frequent than people without MS. So yes, there is a connection. Anything that irritates the brain may cause a seizure. It is surprising people with MS do not have seizures more often.
