Here are 14 common seizure triggers…
1. Missed Medication
Whether it’s intentionally or unintentionally, missing or changing a medication can be a serious seizure trigger. This includes adding a new prescription drug or ceasing to take a supplement, can both trigger seizures and should be done under the strict and gradual guidance of a doctor. People who are epileptic often take medication to help avoid seizures, so when they miss their daily dosage it can provoke not only more frequent seizures, but seizures that are more intense, says Epilepsy Foundation.
In addition to missing medication, some medications like antidepressants (bupropion a.k.a Wellbutrin and Zyban) have been found to cause or increase risk of seizures, as well as antibiotics like penicillins, quinolones, and pain medications like tramadol (sold under the brand name Ultram).
