A member asked:

I am 51 and had my first grand mal seizure 2 weeks ago. was prescribed paxil, (paroxetine) levetiracetam, clonazepam, trazodone and butalbital. headache,why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See doctor: Trazodone and paxil (paroxetine) can interact to increase brain serotonin levels. See your doctor treating you for seizures to evaluate headache. Review meds with doctor prescribing Trazodone and paxil (paroxetine) re possible drug interactions. I hope this helps.
