Title: Depression medication and withdraw
Description: Seizure disorder from SSRI withdraw

I would like to ask those that are on here with epilepsy, how many of you are on paxil, prozac or some other SSRI for depression and have you gotten off of it at times and found your seizures to change or increase? And those on the board for depression, how many of you have ended up with a seizure disorder after being put on or taken off of an SSRI medication. After an awakening news story that I saw, I am dumbfounded to find some issues that are possible with SSRI's and withdraw or even problems when taking them. I know this is not directly VNS related, but for me in a round about, backwards, not making sense sort of way it is. Please let me know if anyone on SSRI's has had any sort of seizure symptoms or for those with known/diagnosed epilepsy, if you are on an SSRI, if you have had seizure increase or change when taking the medication or getting off of it. Thanks for your information that you are willing to share.
