Hormones causing Seizures
Mon, 04/03/2006 - 12:26Topic: Women With Epilepsy
I have been having hormone problems for a short time now. Stress and anxiety have become a big factor.
I have been using progesterone and it has helped. But things seemed to change now. Any little thing I have to do is a big issue, and is very stressful and will end up with a seizure.
Has anyone did something else to help the seizures that are coming from hormone problems? I have tried to increase the meds, and that does nothing for me. I have used Ativan on occasions. Is there anything else that can be done?
thanks
Lisa

Progesterone cream has helped me a great deal. But things just have changed.
The ativan I take when I am having days like today and I feel a seizure is coming on. My doctor had perscribed them to me.
I will not increase my meds since I have ativan.
Progesterone helped so much with heat flashes...and some seizures
take care
