A week later I wa s having one sezure after another. But NONE before that test. How do I get my life back. The only med keeping these monsters at bay is ativan 2mg 4x a day.

Hi, it is not informative, and you mentioned that you had seizures after the test but you didn't mention for what the test is done, you must be having some problem that is why the test is done,and that symptom might be the cause of the seizures.If you are using more of antihistamines, fluroquinolone group of antibiotics you may get the fits.
Any how ativan is not an anti convulsant drug, though controlling it will not have the curative properties, means reducing the waves of the seizures in the brain.
I advise you to consult a neurologist for diagnosis and treatment.
Thank you.
