No. Each medication has its own side effect, the fewer the better.

If you mean the ASM meds then it can happen but if everything is being managed correctly it shouldn't. If it does it normally gets flagged and they need to address it.

I did not take Birth Control Pills because what I was taking would make them not work. All kinds of drugs can make one or the other less effective. Watch what you eat too. i live in Senior Housing. They never serve grapefruit or grapefruit juice because it can negatively affect your condition or meds. With my AEDs, it would make them much stronger. That would not be good.If you take Diphenhydromine an ingredient in Cold and Allergy Medications. Though I am not actually allergic, I list it. When buying Cold and Allergy pills, I watch to see that is not one of the ingredients.

Hi @A MyEpilepsyTeam Member, you can find information about this on MedlinePlus, Merck, or any other well known medical journal.
