Hi kevbo887,

Darlene gave you some great advice! I've had epilepsy for 42 yrs. and I take Aleve for colds and sinus headaches and I have found it helps reduce my sz. but everyones body chemistry is different. If I may ask do you feel tired or confused after these possible sz. (seizures). If you feel tired, confused, or have a headache this is a sign of a sz. Start keeping track of the possible sz. by getting a calendar and writing down what time you have the sz. along with a description of the sz. by doing this the neuro you see may see a pattern in your sz. I often have sz. when I'm sick, or right before a storm comes and there's a low pressure in the weather.
To find out if the Aleve is causing sz. you need to get a DNA test done by doing this test the Dr. can match up your body chemistry and the enzymes in your body and see if the Aleve is triggering sz. and they can also find out what sz. med would be the best for you with the least side effects. I have been on many sz. meds and I found out a lot of them were causing sz. for me it wasn't until I had a DNA test done that I found out I was drug resistant to all sz. meds out on the market now. Here's wishing you only the best of luck and May God Bless You!
