Seizures usually can be well controlled with medication.

What drugs can cause seizures. How they can cause memory loss. A seizure is a brief period of uncontrolled electrical activity in the brain. The original typical antipsychotics such as haloperidol Haldol chlorpromazine Thorazine fluphenazine and thioridazine Mellaril can cause weight gain but these drugs are used less frequently due to movement disorder side effects. Many people who have seizures without an identifiable cause eventually will stop having seizures particularly if seizures begin during childhood. All drugs that depress signaling in the CNS can cause memory loss. Anticonvulsants are believed to limit seizures by dampening the flow of signals within the central nervous system CNS.

Many patients with seizures do well on phenytoin Dilantin which has little if any impact on memory. Haloperidol and fluphenazine have the lowest risk of the 1st generation agents.
