A member asked:

Could you tell me ways to stop seizures other than a higher dose of medication?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Avoid triggers: Several provocateurs include medications, recreational drugs, stressors, infections, chemical and metabolic imbalances, alcohol abuses. So, handle these if present. Might consider switching a different med. A vagal nerve stimulator helps very well in many.
