Seizures are a tricky thing. When you begin to take certain meds, it decreases your brains chemical threshhold for seizures. Some people have a higher threshold and can do fine taking certain meds; i.e. antidepressants and phentermine. Some, people can't tolerate it. It is simply a means of chemical makeup and how your brain is wired.

You definitely should NOT take phentermine if you suffer from seizure activity because you can definitely put yourself into a seizure from taking these meds. You should ask your physician prior to taking anything this regulated b/c it can do a lot of damage. Be welL!
