With coffee & tea there is caffeine in them and it makes people who have epeilepsy have sezuire a lot and so I don’t have coffee & tea any more but with decaff coffee and decaff tea u can have them cause they don’t have caffeine in them , coke and other drinks like this have caffeine in them so be careful , & check on the drinks to . Also different people who have epeilepsy r ok with caffeine but with me it affects me a lot .

Coffee does not effect me much at all. Sodas and those energy drinks do.

I was never told not to drink coffee by any of my several neurologists or even neurosurgeons ( had a brain aneurysm in 2005) I was told to stay away from alcohol
