Thank you,

Well, I don't think he was suggesting I eat them in general, just to make the seizures stop right then. He said they were often exacerbated by dehydration (although I didn't think I was dehydrated) and so he said to drink water with alka seltzer or gatorade or something that would rehydrate me and to take valium or ativan. I think the sodium was just to make me hydrate faster, like how all those sports drinks have sodium in them. I also take lithium, but not much. I think the seizure side effect is rare, but more likely at higher doses.

What I want to know now, though, is can I continue to take adderall, or should I lay off all dopamine agonists for a while? Is it the dopamine that causes the seizures?
