Hi Friedbrain,

I don't know what AED's (anti seizure meds) you are taking but that might be the one problem that is causing you to have low blood pressure. I know that when I was taking neurontin my blood pressure was so low that often I would get dizzy and my Dr. ordered me to take in more salty foods but that didn't help me at all. I had a upset stomach for days and I finally went to see a gastro specialist and I found out that the AED I was taking was eating up my intestines and causing all the problems along with low blood pressure. I was told to eat foods low in fat, no coffee or anything with dairy products in it. and to drink caffeine free ginger ale and tea along with chicken noodle soup. This helped me a lot and now I'm doing much better and my blood pressure is back to normal. I wish you the best of luck and May God Bless You!

Sue
