A member asked:
I thought the idea was to have a seizure during eeg, if i can produce 1 by taking some med., why should i not?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
All must be involved: Discuss with the neurologist and eeg tech before trying anything that may bring on a seizure. Everything and everyone must be ready. Be sure the tech is comfortable with recording during the process and is prepared to protect you during the process. The eeg should be done in the hospital setting, perhaps even on a ward where nurses could be available if needed.

If your doctor refutes your reaction to a medication is it not encumbent on you to prove it? Taking med. Before eeg. Guarantees a seizure.
