What I mean is that the present epileptic medications should NOT be any factor to that persons irratic behavior unless that person has STOPPED using a medication against a doctors orders.

FYI- Most epileptic medications are so DAMN STRONG that a person not use to taking those meds in that high quantity would likely DIE from a single dosage! Those medications requires a long peroid to build up a tolerance and must also be taken out of the system over a period of time without serious negative recourse.

FYI- My exwife endured the removal of 16 EEG strips (latex coated ribbons with magents on them) from inside her cranial cap (means strips laid on top of the brain iteself underneath the skull) with morphine and Demerol. During that 30 minute process she was given 20CC of Morphine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! To most people (including drug addicts) that would be a massive over dose and certain death! But to an epileptic that is use to taking so much medication it was not a problem because their system is use to it!

That should give you some some idea how strong some epileptic medications really are!
I was on Dilatin for 9 years for mis-dx of epileptic seizures.
I remember the EEGs all too well.
