Hey trxresistant, I have had seizures in the past and see a neuro. She says that all AD can cause seizures but that certain ones have a less tendency to do so. due to my family history of them she said had I seen her first there would have been certain ones that she would not have recommended due to their propensity to cause them in individuals with history. Now you seem not to have a history so that is tricky. However, now that you have had one you are right you are more at risk. I do remember that my neuro said that wellbutrin was out for me as well as zoloft. I could always call her and ask which ones I cant take and give you that information if you would feel better. I don't think asking for a referral to a neuro is ever a bad idea since you had 7 of them. Cymbalta did cause me to have partial seizures and quite a few. I was even on a Anti convulsant at the time but it wasn't high enough to combat the cymbalta. I would not want to be guinea pig either. My T and I decide I would continue to seeing the neuro for meds since she knows them and seizures and while she is knowledge about it all and wants to help why not. Hey she even listens and gives me options. Good luck with the change. I hope you find one that listens like I have. Rk
