Hi. Im 17 and had my first epileptic
attack about a month ago, and had an mri
scan which proved that ther was nothing
serious that caused it. However I now
want to go on the pill and had already
been perscribed microgynon 30 before the
fit happened but had not yet started
taking it. Is it safe for me to start
taking the pill? Or would I have to go
back to the doctors again 2 ask if this is
the correct one to be taking?
Thanx x

I would call the doctor who perscribed it
and ask if it is ok since you have had a
seizure.
It is pretty common to have one seizure
and you might not have another one ever.
Hope this is the case for you.

Seizures & the Pill Posted: 10-24-05 23:49pm
I didn't have my first grand mal seizure
until soon after I was put on the pill...
Previous to that, we now know, it would
seem I was merely having petite mal
seizures... One er doctor even accused me
of being drunk! I wasn't even 13 years
old yet!! Before that first grand mal I
didn't even know I had seizures... Soon
after getting taken off the pill & the
first grand mal, they discovered I had an
avm & treated it w/brain surgery &
medication... I don't think the pill will
cause seizures, I just think the pill
triggered or provoked mine
