Hi. Welcome to the group. My name is Tristin. What's your name? In response to your questions about cold meds, I think any over the counter cold medication is safe to take without interacting with AEDs, except antihistamines. As a child, anytime I would take or was given an antihistamine, it would trigger seizures. That's all the knowledge I have for that topic. :)
What kind of seizures do you have? What medication(s) are you on?
I was diagnosed with temporal lobe epilepsy back in 1993. I have mostly partial and complex partial seizures. I had a left temporal lobectomy Nov 08, and I've been seizure free since the surgery.
Sincerely,
Tristin :)

I just recently got diagnosed w/ nightime seizure activity. I am on Topamax to help treat it and my longtime migraines. My doctor is not sure what is causing the headaches or the seizure activity. I have been having tests done for the last 3yrs w/no definitive answers given. But here is my question for anyone who can help. I asked my neurologist and he wasn't much help w/this topic (not really his area), my primary doctor is non existent (I am so frustrated with him right now-long story-I am hoping to switch drs soon though)but how do I know what cold meds are safe to take w/ seizures and my meds? Are there any sites I can go to for info? With cold season upon us, I am worried about geting sick. My husband is sick right now and I am scared I might be next and I know I have to be careful about what meds I take. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!: -)
