Hi Tim,

Welcome to the forum! In all the yrs. that I have had epilepsy (41 yrs.) I have had to cut back on the caffeine because it will cause more electrical activity in the brain firing up neurons and then trigger seizures. My Epileptologist had even told me to limit myself to 4 cups of caffeine a day that's including chocolate and soda. What you might want to give your daughter is vitamin B12 once a day. This works great calming the nerves down and it has decreased my sz. greatly. Also cut your daughter back on carbs and starch foods and have her stay away from anything with NutraSweet (aspartame) in it this has been proven to trigger sz. and also cause much more electrical activity in a person brain. Here's wishing you and your daughter only the best and May God Bless You Both!

Sue
