Can Acid LSD Tablet Be Taken To Control Epileptic Fits?

My husband is epileptic. He does not need medication as he can control them with adequate sleep. He cannot take ecstacy as he discovered when he was younger this quarantees a seizure. He occassionally smokes marijuana and is fine. He is going to a day long concert and plans to take one acid (LSD) tab and I am very nervous. He assures me he has done it and it is fine???? Very worried wife!

Neurologist,  's  Response
How can I put this delicately?

You sure you don't want to take the trip with him because I believe he stands a better than 50/50 chance of landing up in the hospital from this Woodstock Adventure. He tells you that he will take only 1 LSD tablet. First of all, LSD is an illicit drug. That in and of itself is a risk for trouble....but fine....he wants to play around with fire where the law is concerned.....but if he has epileptic fits that he controls based on limiting fatigue then, I'm afraid he's not terribly familiar with the potential affects LSD can have on people which is that it is very difficult for them to fall asleep. I'm just sayin'

If you have other specific questions for me (I'm a neurologist) then, please ask them at: bit.ly/drdariushsaghafi

Good luck.
