seizures with monthly menses

[Guest guest]

I am now certain my current battle with seizures is triggered by hormones.

The day my menses starts is the same day I have seizures trying to start.

I took my normal 850mg dose of scullcap at 9:00pm and had to take another

full dose at midnight. Then, at 7:00 (when I had the seizure last month) I felt

another 'rush' so I took my 9:00am dose a little early. I haven't had any

seizures so far. I slept really well!

I'm going to take it very easy for the next few days until this situation

settles down. I think something to 'balance' the hormones is in order.

I'm not sure if extra Progesterone (wild yam) is a good idea for me. Since

the seizures hit when it decreases naturally and I would have to stop taking the

wild yam at the same time - it seems like it could actually make the whole

hormonal roller coaster ride worse at that time. Has anyone else had a similar

situation of seisures and monthly exactly the same time every month? I'd love

to hear your experiences.

I'd also love to read a good website about this issue.
