Hi. I'm new to the community, but was hoping that someone here might have some insight on a few questions. I was a Xanax and opiat addict for a couple of years. Most people I have talked to begin to have seizures in withdrawal but mine began when i was still an active user. Once the seizures started I got clean. Throughout the next couple of months I had a couple more seizures. Frustrated, I relapsed and had more seizures when I detoxed. I have been clean for 2 years but still continue to have seizures. My meds keep them under control for the most part but every now and again if I dont get lots of sleep, push my body too hard, or skip my meds I will have a sezuire. I also played football throughout highschool and college where I suffered multiple concussions. I have also taken some significant blows to the head due to the seizures. All that to say, does anyone know if the drug abuse could have caused me to be epileptic or possibly the concussions? Or is it all by chance that I became epileptic at 22. Ive never heard of any withdrawal seizures persisting after being clean for 2 years...
