Which supplements interact with seizure medications or affect seizures?

Several supplements and natural remedies can interact with anti-seizure medications or affect your seizure risk. It's important to talk with your doctor before adding anything new to your routine.

Some supplements that may interact with seizure medications include:

* Gingko
* Cannabis/CBD products
* Methotrexate
* Orlistat
* Calcifediol

CBD deserves special attention because it can interact with a wide range of medications. It may affect how your body processes anti-seizure drugs like clobazam and valproate, which can be serious. Even though CBD is available over-the-counter, you should always discuss it with your neurologist before trying it.

Herbs, supplements, and natural remedies can sometimes seriously affect your medications or seizure risk. Even things that seem harmless might lower your seizure threshold or change how your medication works in your body.

The safest approach is to check with your healthcare provider before adding any supplement, herb, or natural remedy to your routine - even if it's available without a prescription.
