Why does Oxycontin cause epilepsy?
It can affect the brain, and anything that disrupts the working of the brain can cause seizures. Having seizures is only a possible side effect and so it does not happen to everyone. If someone already gets seizures they are not meant to take oxycontin. Epilepsy is classified as a tendency to have recurring seizures. So even if someone took oxycontin and had one seizure, they would not be diagnosed as having epilepsy. Anyone can have a seizure in their lifetime at some point, but it is only people that have lots of them that are diagnosed as having epilepsy. So if taking oxycontin caused someone to have a seizure and then they never had one again, they would not have epilepsy and so saying that oxycontin can cause epilepsy is not really accurate. It is more accurate to say that it can cause seizures.
How do you know if seizures are controlled?
Many types of seizures are controllable with medication. The problem is that many are not. Most people with a chronic seizure condition (epilepsy) can have their seizures well controlled with medications, yet once in a while if they are ill or under extreme stress, they may have an occasional one. Other seizures are caused by medical conditions and are usually one of the symptoms of increasing illness. There are medications that can be given to control these seizures as well, but they are only truly resolved if the condition that caused them is resolved. The last kind are febrile seizures. They often occur in young children, only require medication if they are frequent, and the children often "grow out" of the condition as they mature. If you are having seizures, or know someone who is, please encourage a visit with a good doctor who can find the reasons for them and may be able to get them well under control.
