There are actually studies that show that depo-provera *lowers* the chance of certain types of seizures. Whether or not this would help an individual patient depends on the clinical history, the frequency of seizures, and which seizure medications the patient is taking. I'll bet your neurologist will be able to work with you and your gynecologist to make a suggestion.

Good luck,
