You should ask your pharmacists about the meds you are taking and what to avoid while taking them. They are the experts in that field.

There are some foods products that are known to cause seizures in some people - aspartame (artificial sweetner used in many soft drinks, candies, etc.), caffeine, alcohol, msg (mono-sodium glutimate - a salty additive found in many packaged foods), etc.

The food products I listed above are not found in any meds/pills as far as I know. Meds are usually manufactured with inert (harmless) binders.
