I recently had a seizure, so I was taken off all of my psych meds except for Lithium. I feel very depressed now, and my psych doc does not want me on any antidepressants and Benzos until I see a neurologist. That can take a nother week or two.
From what you guys have experienced, would taking either Same E or St John's wort (maybe both) increase the risk of seizures.
this was my very first seizure, and I am not epileptic. We still aren't sure why it hapepned.
I had been off Benzos for over a month, and I had not drank in months.
I did take too many Benadryls, and some codeine the day before the seizure though.
I just don't know what to do, so much is going poorly in life right now, and I really can't stand depression added on to all of this stress.
What else can I do so boost my mood? I would like to excercise, but I'm afraid to because it was during the excercise when I caught the seizure.
I actually tried St john's Wort and Same before, and it didn't seem to help. In fact I think it made things worst because I was also on wellbutrin and Lexapro at the time.
This time I'm on nothing but lithium, and I will soon start Zyprexa.
I know we're not allowed to give med advice, just wondering if any of you have been in this similar situation.
Than k you for your time.
