9Take Supplements and Record Possible Triggers and Frequency of Seizures
Certain herbs and vitamins may lower the risk of having seizures. While more research is needed to learn about their effectiveness, you may take some supplements to prevent this condition. These include magnesium, vitamin E, vitamin B6, and some herbs like skullcap, peony, mugwort, mistletoe, lily of the valley, or groundsel. Make sure to talk with your healthcare provider before taking any of these supplements or herbs. In some cases, they would interact with other medications and reduce the effectiveness or cause certain side effects. [9]
It is a good idea to keep a record of when you experienced a seizure and any possible triggers. Some important things to include:
– When did the seizure occur and how long did it last?
– Did you sleep well last night or have a lot of stress?
– Did you drink any alcohol or take drugs?
– Were you on a period (for females)? [10]
