Medication That Prevents Headaches Leading To Seizures

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Newcastle upon Tyne, UK

I have had headaches in the past that if not treated lead to seizures. I have tried taking Paracetamol but they don't always work. I can't take Asprin because they can cause heart problems. Any advice?

lots of comments, I guess this is a personal one. The headaches are common. Usually after seizure and I guess as a sign your brain is tired and you better get your meds on and rest.

My daughter doesn't have epilepsy. Rather, she has almost daily headaches resulting from Post-concussive Syndrome; [as a result of her serious sports concussion, she also has Post-Trauma Vision Syndrome]. Since over-the-counter pain killers don't work well, her headache doctor put her on Cambia, which she takes every time a headache arises. And it works. It requires a prescription.
Note, too, that it's a non-addictive, non-opioid-based pain killer. Be very careful with that. Don't just take anything a doctor/person offers you unless you are sure it's not an opiate.
