I take lamictal twice a day, daily for epilepsy/seizures, but I never really drink at all, maybe once or twice a year, if that, & I have friends that get seizures as well, and if they drink, they usually take their seizure meds afterwards, so that's interesting that you heard that lamictal, a seizure medication, among other things, would induce a seizure, not prevent it.

Alcohol, stress, head trauma, & for those like myself who already have seizures and take meds for them- not taking your medications can all induce any kind of seizure.

But anyways, to the OP- I hope things got better for you.
