can stopping heavy meth usage cause idiopathic seizures?

Question by Monica S: can stopping heavy meth usage cause idiopathic seizures?
My boyfriend was a heavy methamphetamine user off and on for a little over 20 years of which 90% was done intravenously. He’s now been clean for almost 3 years. He did get clean for a short time prior to these 3 yrs. and since then he has developed what the doctors are calling “idiopathic seizure disorder”. We want to know if him stopping the methamphetamine usage is the cause. He doesn’t plan on using ever again but we still want some answers.

Answer by T.O.
I assume you are asking us because you don’t want to tell the doctors about him using meth heavily. The doctors can do nothing to harm you with that information. They are bound by both law and their oath. You probably don’t want to call up your insurance agency and let them know if he ends up needing medicine/surgery, but for now, by all means, TELL THE DOCTORS. Don’t let this kind of withheld information ruin his life.

On the off chance you DID tell his doctors, take their word for whatever they answered. All yahoo answers can do for this question is either google it or have a doctorate themselves (in which case their opinion bears the same credence as your doctor’s).
