As you are on Effexor XR , and you have began with seizure . This drug will not cause seizure. There is another cause for seizure. It may be due to stress , tension etc. I suggest you to calm down and not to take any stress . Enjoy your life . I suggest you to consult you doctor for this and tell everything that you fell.
