Merge Medical seizure date June 2008 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.

They are unique in that they travel through the primary motor cortex in succession, affecting the corresponding muscle s, often beginning with the fingers. This is felt as a tingling sensation. It then affects the hand and moves on to more proximal areas. Symptoms often associated with a Jacksonian seizure are sudden head and eye movements, tingling, numbness, smacking of the lips, and sudden muscle contractions.
