What Causes Seizures After Taking Bee Pollen For Terrible Allergies?
Hi my son started taking bee pollen for his terrible allergies that were causing reoccurring sinus infections and now he has been having seizures in the past few days. Could THE Bee Pollen Be CAusiNG them? And does bee pollen affect other seizure medications, and cause them not to work? Such as Levitracitam (Keppra), Clorazepate, and Clonazepam?

Hi,
Seizure is not described as side effect of bee pollen. No significant interaction with anti epileptics also described. For seizure, we have to search for other causes. From your description, I guess he is already on multiple drugs for seizure- so it might be manifestation of the underlying epilepsy itself, rather than from bee pollen
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
