Substance Abuse and Brain Injuries
Effects of alcohol on your brain:
Seizure
Seizures are a problem for about 5% of people who
have a brain injury. Even though that is a low number, seizures are serious
and steps need to be taken to avoid them.
Some people require anti-seizure medication. Mixing
alcohol and other drugs with these medications is very dangerous and can
INCREASE the chance of seizure. Taking yourself off medications to drink
is DANGEROUS.
Doubling up on anti-seizure medications to drink is DANGEROUS.
Get the facts from your doctor, and then use your brain.
