Does Nicotine Patches Help In Controlling Seizures?
We (my wife and I) have a 50 yr. old daughter, plagued with seizures from infancy to her current adulthood. As a desperate endeavor by Mayo Clinic at Scottdale, Az. (currently) they are administering Nicotine Patches as a possible mitigating agent to help in controlling her seizures. What do you think? Thanks. Reid and Betty YYYY@YYYY
Nicotine patches will not help to control seizures. You have to start on anti-epileptic pills must be started. Consult a neurologist and he will direct you accordingly.
