yes, quite a few drugs can lower seizure threshold, it pays to double-check. See http://www.coping-with-epilepsy.com/forums/f23/list-drugs-may-lower-seizure-threshold-17004/ and http://www.coping-with-epilepsy.com/forums/f23/can-antibiotic-cause-seizures-18827/

I havnt been on that antibiotic, but I have been on others that have lowered my seizure thershold causing seizures to occur. The list that Nakamova listed is great to keep around! I printed it off for future reference!
