Antibiotics and Seizures

Can anyone confirm if this could be a issue.

My 15 year old Son has recently started to have Seizures. No warning just went. At first we thought it was his games console so he has given this up. Seizures are Grand Mal no warning or Aura.

Last night he had another whilst on the toilet.

He has been taking LymeCycline antibiotics for over 1 year now for Acne which has cleared up his face however one of the side effects is Sensitivity to Sun. Also pressure on brain.

I will speak to the Doctor but suspect he may say its not related to the recent seizures.

Has anyone ever had seizure reactions to antibiotics ?  

Any comments or guidance appreciated. We are waiting for results of EEG test and I guess they may put him on Epilepsy medication which I want to avoid if possible,

Thanks for any help.

Regards
Patrick
