One other thing that being hot or humid does to me is I lose my appetite alot, what worries me taking medication on a empty stomach can trigger a seizure.

Sue it’ll say in your prescriptions literature that comes with it every time your refill it if it has the possibility of side affects from heat and humidity. I think a good number of the seizure medication‘s has the possibility of heat and humidity side effects.
