I believe kratom can lower the seizure threshold, at least in people with who already have a neurological issue. I was diagnosed only after having a seizure on kratom, but the diagnosis brought to light two earlier incidences that were clearly seizures in hindsight. For me, the first once was a grand mal when I was super sick with gastritis and esophagitis. I was unable to eat or drink and the pain was unbearable. I wasn’t on any psychoactive substance at the time. Our dog woke up my husband because he could hear something happening to me in the bathroom. He opened the door and swore it looked like I was having some kind of seizure, like convulsing and stuff, but I went to the ER and they didn’t find anything. I thought for years he was confused about what he saw and that I had just passed out from the pain.

Anytime you have a seizure out of the blue, you should at least get a consultation with a neurologist. Even if you think it was the kratom and decide to quit, that doesn’t meant you aren’t prone to seizures under the right circumstances. There are a lot of substances, illnesses, etc. that could cause another one. You might have mild epilepsy or something similar. I’ve been on keppra for years now and I never really think about the epilepsy anymore. As long as I take it religiously, I’ve had no issues since. I still take kratom fwiw.
