Can amoxillin cause a seizure?
Anti-biotics can lower the seizure threshold, as can being sick. So if someone is sick and/or is on anti-biotics they could be more likely to get a seizure. That does not mean that the anti-biotic they are taking is responsible for them getting a seizure. So Amoxillin could not be said to cause seizures.

Can antibiotics cause a grand mal seizure?
Short answer- Yes, in general antibiotics may cause a grand mal seizure. Long answer- In any specific case, maybe. People who are sick and getting antibiotics are more likely to have a seizure from the underlying illness, and potentially the associated fever. There is a concept of a seizure threshold. Think of the brain like a pot of water, and a seizure like boiling. Anything that raises the temperature (metaphorically) increases the chances of having a seizure. These can include generally being sick, a high fever, electrolyte abnormalities, genetic propensity, and certain medications. Also medications can interfere with the metabolism of seizure medications and in some people the infection involves the brain, and can cause seizures. Some antibiotics (but not all) are known to lower the seizure threshold, and have a slight increase in the number of seizures, usually a few patients in every thousand treated. Justin Montanye, MD
Can you take Concerta and ultram XL together?

How many Wellbutrin pills 150 mg are too much How do you know when to stop?
400mg is the max recommended dosage for therapeutic use. Typically, no more than 300mg is prescribed. If you are taking it for recreational use, it's not a wise idea since it does significantly lower the seizure threshold.
