Ok, so this is like the 3rd time this happened. Usually my morning routine consists of bagel & coffee from Dunkin', but yesterday I made my own from home. I took my medicine, but still ended up having a seizure. This happened a few times before, when I change my morning breakfast routine, I end up having a seizure. I guess I'm just used to having breakfast from Dunkin', but my mom doesn't want me having it all the time.
As i said before, coffee and other beverages have caffeine. If you include caffeine in your diet it can cause triggers which leads to seizures. For some like me, caffeine disrupts the medicine i take. Try going 2 weeks without coffee and have something without caffeine to see if there is a difference.
Changing your routine can be stressful. That is what will bring on the seizures.
Try to stay calm and relax as much as possible and it won't be as bad.
