A member asked:
Im having an eeg done i have epilepsy, should i stop taking sudafed, hydrocodone, & herbal supplements? will they cause false positives on eeg?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Good question: Speak with your examiner to determine which meds should be continued or stopped. The klonipen and geodon are more significant relating to the EEG
