Would Taking Haldol, Depakote And Gabapentin Make Me Get A Grand Mal Convulsion?

Posted on Tue, 25 Jan 2022

Question: Hello, I am taking 10 mg haldol three times a day, 20 mg propranolol three times a day, 15 mg of buspar three times a day, 300ns mg of gabapentin three times a day, 1 mg of cogentin twice a day, and 1000 mg of depakote twice a day. It said in one study that the combination of haldol, depakote, and gabapentin can cause grand mal convulsions.
If you scroll down to the bottom, it says neurontin, which is gabapentin, as one of the co-drugs used. So does this mean I will get a grand mal convulsion?

Brief Answer:
My suggestion.

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

As you mentioned that there is a risk of seizures if those doses were given at once.
But, if those doses are escalated gradually, then the body develops tolerance and there will be no such adverse effects.

Hope this information would help you.
Feel free to ask any further questions.
Thank you.
