Meprozine and seizure

I was given Meprozine to take after getting my wisdom teeth taken out. I have a history of epilepsy, but have been seizure free for 12 years. In fact, I had an EEG last year and it came back completely normal. Well, a day after starting Meprozine, I felt very strange. I began to feel that sensation I would right before I would have a seizure. Sure enough, later that day, I did have a seizure. Luckily I was home and my husband was there with me. I'm kinda ticked off that knowing my history, this was the drug that was prescribed to me!

I was prescribed this drug for pain when I had a severe urinary tract infection. After taking one pill, I had a grand mal siezure. Up untill that time, I had been siezure free for over 5 years. I told the doctors that I have siezures and am on Depakote. I wouldn't recomend this drug for anyone with any history of siezure disorders.

My daughter ALSO had a seizure after taking the medication Meprozine, which was prescribed by our doctor after being in a car accident and suffering pain /pulled muscles. Obviously, she was allergic to it - but how were we to know?
My advice to anyone taking this medicine is check your own body/symptoms . . . her's was trembling (mostly her hands) for a couple days before she had the seizure. BIG red flag!

My father age 48 took two meprozine and had seizure,he fell and hit his head on a concrete floor and now has a brain injury. My advice is ,only take this drug when you need it. Call your Doctor to let him know your taking it.
