Can heroin cause seizures

Answer 1

While on heroine, you can experience seizures.

Heroin is a GABA antagonist. GABA is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the Central nervous system (brain, spinal cord). This means that GABA keeps chemicals in your brain in check and keeps neurons from firing too much. Kinda like neurotransmitter police in your brain. When neurons are too active this creates a seizure. Heroin reduces the amount of GABA in your brain. Therefore, lowering your seizure threshold, making it more likely to have seizures.

Answer 2

Too much opiates can cause seizures and also withdrawing from opiates can also cause seizures. It all has to do with changing brain activity by either adding or withdrawing the opiate. The brain basically freaks out and the neurons start misfiring and acting crazy.

Answer 3

Any drug, pills, or anything at all can cause seizure at the wrong amount/dose. Even Trimonil which is supposed to prevent seizures can cause seizures if you take to much.
