What's The Best Method And Most Common Rescue Med For Seizures?

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Lanesboro, MN

I have had to different kinds one that's nasal spray and another that used a dropper.
The main reason I ask is the doctor prescribed one but the pharmacist says the other may be better, so is the Dr just prescribing one over the other to fill his pocket?

I use the nayzilam spray too.(nose spray). Medicine is different for everyone. However, in my opinion, If doc is making ya take 2 different kinds of emergency meds and is preferring one over the other, I'd ask which one should I be refilling, because medicine can be expensive. Hell it's possible both might be needed (like using 1 as a failsafe if the other didn't work).

I use lorazepam in pill form.

It could be that the two meds could work better than one medication alone. I have had that happen in the hopspital.

I have been prescribed klonopin to take prior to my seizures if and when I feel an aura.
