Perhaps I'm moving a bit OT by this one, but does anyone here know if
workout/running/gym or anything else that causes a lot of sweating
(perhaps I should include hot weather here), may cause the AEDs to get
flushed out of the system, thus lowering the seizure level? In my case,
my SP (leading to approx 1 GP yearly) starting becoming more frequent
after I starting going to the gym more frequently. Or, well, it could
also be the sound level/accoustics there, or something of both. Any ideas?

It's most likely caused by raised Heart rate and Metabolism? flushing
the med. from your bloodstream quicker than if you were a Couch Potato
like some of the rest of us??
That was what I meant by earlier post, above, especially with an
older med. like phenobarbitol? Some of the pills might keep a stable
level longer in the body and blood, while e.g. older ones might not be
as stable? If the efa.org medications site doesn't list anything, your
local Ep. Association or your Pharmacy might have www links specific to
your pill type and increased physical activity. G./

Sounds like a good idea. I'll check with them as soon as I can.
Thanks a lot.
