Lots of psych meds are known to induce seizures if one comes off them too quickly. That doesn't mean that the person will continue to have sz's. If a person has epilepsy, however, it could be a very dangerous situation though. A possibility of status epilepticus is very real indeed. {Status epilepticus - a life threatening neurological state in which a person has a non-stop seizure for 30 minutes or more.} Some psych meds have a higher percentage of possibility of inducing sz's. Generally, pDoc's won't try those meds on those who have epilepsy.

One has to weigh the serious risks. That's why they make the big bucks .
