Hi Jake, do you mind telling me what type of seizure meds can cause osteoporosis? I've never heard of that. I have severe osteo but it's from my daily Prednisone and so many steroids over the years for my lungs and inflammatory disease and have been on Gabapentin for the last 1.5 years for my neuropathy which as you know is a seizure medication. Hope you are well. Many blessings, Sunnyflower

Here are some seizure meds that can cause Neuropathy.

Dilantin/Phenytoin
Phenobarbital
Tegretol/Carbamazepine
Depacote/Valproic acid
Trileptal, Oxtellar XR/Oxcarbazepine
Lamictal/Lamotrigine

I believe that Neurontin/Gabapentin may also contribute to Neuropathy just like some seizure meds have increased seizures in some people.

Take care,
Jake
