Zoloft and seizures?

Hi. A friend of mine is epileptic. She was prescribed with Zoloft. My Mom is taking Zoloft to treat her depression. I don`t think Zoloft is used for seizures. What do you think?

Hi. I take Zoloft to treat anxiety. I know Zoloft is an antidepressant. It is used to treat depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety, panic disorder, premenstrual dysphoric and post-traumatic stress disorder. I have never heard Zoloft is used for seizures. However, Zoloft, like any other drug, may be used for other purposes. Your friend was probably prescribed with Zoloft to treat her depression, or some other conditions I have mentioned above. There are many drugs that will affect Zoloft. These drugs include aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, diclofenac and others. As you can see, anti-epileptic drugs are not among them.

i take zoloft and i also have epilepsy. i have had epilepsy since i was very young. many seizure medications such as dilantin are also used for anxiety depression bipolar disorder etc. and the other way around. it is very possible that zoloft can also be used as a seizure med as almost every seizure med i can think of is also used as an anti depressant or anti psychotic. seizures are caused by problems with chemicals in your brain (neurotransmitters) and so is many forms of depression and mental illness....so its not that far off.
