Can you take ibuprofen if you have epilepsy?

Hi @1902man

How are you doing today?

This is an interesting topic. I think the first thing to do is talk to your doctor about taking ibuprofen for epilepsy. They will first be able to warn you about possible side effects and hazards for this treatment. It's great that you were able to get decent results with acupuncture. I will tag a few other members to see if they have experience with Levetiracetam and Topamax and ibuprofen.

What medications you tried for your epilepsy? What worked? What didn't? Have you tried ibuprofen?

Let's give some insight into this for @1902man.

Take care,

Lizzi

My different treatments affect different people differently. What works for me won't necessarily work for you. However, Lizzi is right about Ibuprofen with Levetiracetam. I can't speak for everyone. However, in my case, Ibuprofen tends to reduce the potency of Levetiracetam. Therefore increasing my breakthrough seizures. What I have always taken, that even my neurologist approved of, is Tylenol.

Hun I honestly don't know for sure..
