Keeping a seizure diary

Seizure diaryA seizure diary can be a helpful record of what’s been happening with your epilepsy, for you and your doctor or epilepsy specialist. 

You can use a seizure diary to record anything to do with your epilepsy. For example, when you have seizures, what type, and any possible seizure triggers. You can also record if you’re having any possible side effects from your anti-epileptic drugs.

If you feel that your seizures may be linked to your periods, you may also wish to record this in your diary.


We can provide references and information on the source material we use to write our epilepsy advice and information pages. Please contact our Epilepsy Helpline by email at helpline@epilepsy.org.uk.
