Unreferenced date January 2008 A seizure threshold is the balance between excitatory and inhibitory forces in the brain which affects how susceptible one is to seizure s. Those diagnosed with epilepsy or certain other neurological conditions are vulnerable to sudden new seizures if the threshold is upset, and so must be especially careful and compliant with their therapeutic drug regimen, if they must use anticonvulsant s. Drugs such as the antidepressant and nicotinic antagonist bupropion Wellbutrin, Zyban and the analgesic tramadol Ultram, Ultram ER, Ultracet can lower the seizure threshold. So can other factors, including, among many others exposure to neon or laser flashing lights, lengthy periods of fasting, malnutrition, starvation, lengthy periods of high stress and or fear, fatigue and exhaustion i.e., from lack of sleep and or rest , uncontrolled diabetes, other endocrine and or metabolic irregularities like electrolyte or hormonal imbalances , cancer, and certain disorders of the nervous, cardiovascular, and gastrointestinal systems.

They begin in child hood and may persist into adult hood. The seizure itself causes no damage, but the loss of muscle control can result in indirect damage from falling accident falling . Electroencephalography can be used to confirm diagnosis. It is minor and relatively common, and can be indicative of Lennox Gastaut syndrome see Henri Gastaut .
