I do take Lorazepam ( Generic Ativan ) anxiety meds , but it’s isn’t use for anxiety issues. I take it only as needed , when I have my bad days with seizures. In other words it works as a Seizure Recovery medication.

I take medication for depression as well as epilepsy

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member It depends on what the meds are and who is taking them. Some AED meds are also used as anxiety meds. Also depending on the area affected you may be less prone to these effects. Unless you get them for unrelated reasons.

If your seizure medications have such side effects as anxiety, it won't help to take meds to fix anxiety.

Ok. Thank you.
