Frequently asked questions — Epilepsy & Seizures in Bellingham
Can I get a telehealth evaluation for epilepsy?
Yes. Seizure disorders are well-documented qualifying conditions. Bring neurologist records if you have them — your physician will review your seizure history and current medications.
Will cannabis interact with my anti-epileptic medications?
Some cannabinoids — particularly CBD — can affect the metabolism of certain anti-epileptic drugs (especially clobazam). Our physicians will review your specific medications at your appointment.
What if my seizures are controlled by medication?
Many well-controlled epilepsy patients still qualify, particularly if they experience medication side effects that cannabis could address. Your physician will evaluate your individual situation.
