Challenging: Yes, stress can be a trigger for seizure activity, but in part, this is a sign of suboptimal medication control, and you may want to have your doctor modify your current medications and update to some newer drug. Stress management via Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy or Biofeedback may help, and some tranquilizers might be of value.
