Can green coffee extract lower seizure threshold when on lamotrigine and sz free for 7 years, 2 seizures after 2 weeks on green coffee extract?

This may be key: Chlorogenic acid is the specific component promoted by dr oz, and seems to have some anti-oxidant qualities, but slows glucose release, relaxes bowel like prunes, and seems to be metabolized in the liver. Would get your Lamotrigine level checked as there likely is a cytochrome p-450 interaction and your level has likely dropped.
