It is not advisable to take any sort of street drugs when you have epilepsy, or even if you don't. People have been known to develop epilepsy after things like overdoses doing damage to their brain. Other than drugs prescribed for their epilepsy, people with it should avoid any kind of other such substances.

What are the medications for epilepsy and what medications don't work well with them?
The oldest drugs used in the treatment of epilepsy include phenobarbital, introduced in 1912, and Dilantin (phenytoin), in use since 1938. Altogether, nearly two dozen different medicines have been approved for epilepsy treatment. Some recent drugs that the FDA has approved include (generic names appear in parenthesis):Felbatol (felbamate)Neurontin (gabapentin)Lamictal (lamotrigine)Topamax (topiramate)Gabitril (tiagabine)Diastat (diazepam)Lyrica (pregabalin)The way in which two or more drugs work together is known as drug interaction. While each of the aforementioned drugs have different interactions with different medications, it's safe to say that all have a number of medications that should NOT be taken while on medicines for epilepsy. For example, Phenytoin can increase the metabolism (elimination) of many drugs, reducing their concentrations in the body quickly (thus making them less effective).Always consult your doctor before taking a new medicine, vitamin or pain killer with anti-seizure medications.
