So I'm 19 an in a treatment center for manly alcohol abuse. The nurse has me on Trileptal doxepine an keppra. She wants to add strettara a none stimulant option for ADHD. I have no history of seizures or epilepsy never had one even when not drinking. The keppra is just for precaution she said. I will only be on it for another week or so but will be starting the strettara before that. Should I be concerned, about having a seizure or being on too many meds, thanks.

    Hi, the fact that you have been sober for almost 2 weeks I dont think you should worry about seizures. Seizures usually happen between 24-48 hours after your last drink. So since you are two weeks sober I wouldn't worry.
