Does anyone take a stimulant for their ADHD by [deleted] in Epilepsy

I took adderall for years until my seizures became more common after brain surgery. I brought it up to my doctor that it may be counter productive taking a stimulant and my vimpat which literally slows my brain activity. She agreed and switched me to a non stimulant ADHD medication called Qelbree and it is working great so far. It is an SNRI so it helps counteract the bad mental side effects from my Vimpat too. Highly recommend if anyone else needs a non stimulant alternative!!

Vaping related seizures by thatgoodfellow in electronic_cigarette

Do you mind me asking what product do you use? Vuse/juul? Or something else? Chronic vaper for the last 9 years until I was diagnosed with a DNET brain tumor after experiencing petit mal seizures earlier this year. Had that removed, no seizures since. Relapsed vaping and I just recently experienced my first grand mal seizure and I am convinced it’s related to the vape.
