If you have Epilepsy, should you continue playing Video games?

Everyone has different types of epilepsy and different types of seizures. Depending on the extent of which seizures you have, this can make a big difference to playing video games. Normally, video games are a 'trigger' for seizures but the choice is yours. It also depends on which type of medication you are taking for your seizures.

Thanks Lesmal for your reply...

I just did a blood test and discovered that my Epilum level is short of parity. The doctor advised a 200mg increase taking me from 1200mg to 1400mg

Hi Vernigma, I recently had blood tests and found my level of Carbamazapine was also low. They have increased me from 600mg. daily to 1200mg. daily (a double dosage). Regret I have battled to take the increased dosage due to constant tiredness, dizziness, blurriness and more. I have gone back to my previous level. I hope your Epilim level reaches the right level and a solution is found to playing video games. I would be very wary of video games... This is a permanent trigger for seizures. Take care!

Hi Lesmal, I have stopped playing video games for a while now. Whether BMI factors in here because I am a 110 kg guy that was taking 1200 mg of Epilum. Just added the 200 last week. Any idea how long it will take for the body to adjust?
