Can I Take Jack3d For My Epilepsy?
Can I take Jack3d if I have medication for my epilepsy? Before my medication I had a seizure approximately once every 3 months and now that I am on medication I haven t had one in years. I have grandmal seizures and I m currently taking trileptol (Oxycarbozepene?) twice a day. What do you think?

Hi Ryan ,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.
Jack3d has Maltodextrin , caffeine ,Magnesium as crucial components that can affect you.Caffeine can increase the general activity of your brain and thus can make you prone to seizure. Rest two would actually benefit the growth of the brain.
Oxcarbezine acts on Sodium channels and regulates the brain activity.There is not much evidence of its effects on Magnesium.In a well hydrated state there are less chances of hypermagnesemia.
I advise you to switch to non caffeine supplement .
Take care .
