A "decreased seizure threshold" means one is more likely to have a
seizure. As a consequence, and according to my source, at this stage of
trials, basically the drug company is "excluding" anybody who has a history
or seizures from the trials -- put bluntly a "cya" tactic. -- mind you,
there are hundeds of drugs which "decrease" seizure threshold -- and people
with a history of seizures take them evey day with no problems -- but drug
companies do not need "law suits" before the drug's truce efficacy is even
tested completely. Stay tuned!
