    Pryidium is a mild drug, but as I learned from my own experience, shouldn't be taken by anyone with a lowered seizure threshold. I only took one dose and had a seizure. I have partial complex seizures so it might not be that way for every type.

    It's a great suggestion though. My cousin who has MS swears by it!
