A member asked:

Hi i want to know does generalized epilepsy cause hallucination or is it the medications i take?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Meds: Epilepsy does not cause hallucinations, especially between convulsant episodes. It's most likely a reaction to one of the anti-epileptic or other meds you take. Discuss with your doctor to see if any are know to be associate with such symptoms or if two of your drugs are interacting with each other.
