Hi, it appears that there are many triggering causes for epilepsy, like anxiety, tension, usage of some medicines, like anti histamines, and some antibiotics like fluroquinolones etc.
when ever you attend your doctor for general causes, you must mention that you have epilepsy, and to avoid the drugs which have convulsions as a side effect. Thank you.
