3Avoid Illicit Substances or Alcohol
Certain drugs contain stimulants or substances that may increase the risk of seizures or cause stress, which subsequently triggers seizures over time. While alcohol consumption does not trigger seizures itself, alcohol withdrawal may be the reason. For these reasons, it is better to avoid these products if you are at risk. If you are addicted to certain substances or drugs, seek medical advice from your doctor or a treatment program to withdraw. For alcohol, try to reduce your daily consumption. Ideally, avoid having more than three portions in a sitting to lower the risk of having seizures. [3]
