The past 2yrs my seizures increased to monthly and notice it was about the time I would have my menstrual. Medicine hasn't helped a little so they aren't monthly. However glad reading this post, as my gynecologist suggested since in premenopause and experience effects to do hormone therapy. I was contemplating what to do as I was worried could increase seizures, and my mom did hormone therapy and had 3 different types of cancer and cancer Dr said hormone therapy could potentially cause cancer. I was hesitant to try it, now after reading this think I definitely not going to do hormone therapy.

Tiffany I wish I could give you a concrete answer. I’ve had epilepsy for 21 years now and it was a fight to find the right combination. Knowledge is power and don’t be afraid to do your own research in addition to working with your neurologist. You are your own best advocate! Love and Light!

Before menopause, all my seizures were mid-day and within 2-3 three days prior to or after starting my period. After menopause my seizures have all been around 8-9pm. I used prem-pro for several years and it did not affect my seizures.

I should correct myself. I wasn’t thinking. My seizures have been few for 8 years. Not non existent. I have had hiccups like with the HRT and Benadryl and antibiotics. I’m so sorry if i misled you guys.

I’m so glad I could help you!!!! I work in surgical oncology gynecology and HRT is definitely something that is outlined as a potential cause of cancer.
