My doctors told me that vaping triggers my seizures but when I have an aura it stops them. I do know that when I dont have a vape is when I start having them. I know that withdraw is causing my seizures but once I started vaping I had less seizures than before.

I smoked for 25 years, but I never vaped. I quit smoking over 16 years ago. If I was going to vape, I my as well just keep smoking!

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member. I used to smoke bud a lot but when the withdrawals came in, it would cause me to have a seizure. I use nicotine vapes. The difference between indica and sativa really never effected me, just the withdrawals. Im trying to get on medical here but its hard to get the shit in louisiana. Plus trying to get it off the streets here in shreveport, is kind of scary with all the Additive they put in the shit now. Had a few people ik smoked and someone laced it with fentanyl

I smoke heavily, including vaping, and the only time I’ve ever had an issue was with sativas or sativa-dominant hybrids. You may want to give an indica a try instead.
