Why suspect pill?: A question: why suspect a pill as the cause of a seizure? A seizure, especially if just once in a lifetime, can happen for an identifiable reason, but can also happen for no identifiable reason. A person who has a first seizure without any obvious neurological disorder, should first go over every single thing that happened in the preceding 48 hours, write them down, and review them with a doctor.
