Others are sensitive to a particular musical style or rhythm. Some people are sensitive to a particular tone from a voice or instrument. Sensitivity to music varies from person to person. This is a form of reflexive epilepsy in which a seizure is triggered by music or specific frequencies. It can be found as an ingredient in medications, including some antihistamines and decongestants. And caffeine can be a “stealth” drug, too. Insulin is then released, and blood sugar drops below normal-a common seizure trigger. Adrenaline is released and the liver begins to emit stored blood sugar. Much like nicotine, caffeine stimulates the nervous system. The nicotine in cigarettes acts on receptors for the excitatory neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the brain, which increases neuronal firing. Nicotine is both a stimulant and a depressant to the central nervous system.

The trigger could be exposure to television screens due to the flicker or rolling images, computer monitors, certain video games or TV broadcasts containing rapid flashes, even alternating patterns of different colors, in addition to intense strobe lights. If you have photosensitive epilepsy, certain types of flickering or flashing light may incite a seizure. The highest risk was during light non-REM stages of sleep. In one study, the lowest risk for seizures was during REM sleep (when dreams occur). Inadequate or fragmented sleep can set off seizures in lots of people. When you drink alcohol, it may temporarily reduce seizures for a few hours, but then increases the chances of a seizure as the alcohol leaves your body. Large amounts of alcohol are thought to raise the risk of seizures and may even cause them. The other question is whether the alcohol itself will cause seizures. Alcohol can be dangerous when mixed with sedative drugs and can cause coma, or even death. One is the effect that alcohol could have on the medicines used to control seizures. There are two questions that have to be considered when the question of alcohol use and epilepsy comes up. Well, your lifestyle is certainly setting off a lot of triggers. Smoking marijuana doesn't seem to be a problem with me. I normally have just one or two drinks, but the zonegran intensifies the alcohol, and I get drunk and don't pay attention to how much I'm drinking.
This usally happens between 6 and 72 hours after you stop drinking. From what I have read, alcohol depresses brain function, and when it tries to restart itself, it has a seizure.
I woke up the next day and had a seizure. I had not had a seizure in almost a year.
I had a breakthrough seizure in 2007 after a night of heavy drinking. Thank you very much, I am really scared to lose the life I love of extreme sports, fast cars, and living on the edge. Any advice, help, or similar stories would be awesome. I would prefer not to have to go back to my neuro because I have moved and do not want to start the no driving countdown again.Īgain, all my seizures have occurred first thing in the morning, usually around breakfast. To add to the drinking I am also a chronic marijuana smoker in that I smoke daily. After visiting my neuro again he still insists that I do not need to go on medication, and should simply curtail my party lifestyle.Īfter that I went a solid 3.5 months before having another one, which was yesterday, again after drinking. He opts not to put me on medication.Ī month later I had 2 more seizures a week apart, both after a night of partying for my cousins stag and wedding. So I have normal CT, EEG, and MRI, and my neuro tells me that I have a mild seizure disorder, and since I had absence as a small child it may just be flaring up because of the partying/videogame combination. Next thing I know I am surrounded by paramedics and being rushed to hospital. That day I had picked up Red Dead Redemption and was excited to play it, so probably only slept about 6-7 hours before waking and immediately going to the TV. To keep it brief, I had my first seizure on May 18 after a night of heaving drinking for a friends birthday.
