Are other medications safe, for people taking antiepileptic medications?
Many classes of medications prescribed or bought may lower the seizure threshold. These include: antidepressants, antipsychotics (psychiatric medicines), central nervous system (CNS) stimulants (Amphetamines, Ritalin), diabetic agents, asthma agents (Aminophylline, Ventolin), antihistamines and decongestants, adrenaline, steroids and a wide variety of other drugs including “over the counter medications”. It is advisable to contact your specialist, GP, or chemist if you are unsure of medication interactions.
