Does Smoking Pot Help With Seizures?
Ok. so I have epilespy and i smoke pot regurarly to help me sleep. I was on Depakote, but I will still have seizures. so i tried smoking pot and my seizures went down from at least 6-12 a day down to 1 every 3 months or so. But now I want to start a family. but i don t really want to stop using pot because of my seizures but i don t want to hurt my baby either. Either way i m confused. What should I do?

Hi,
You need better kind of medications to control your seizures. If Depakote did not show this control, there are many others like Tegratol and Phenytoin to control it.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
