Xanax with marijuana. I had a seizure. Did it happen because of the two?

I have a script for both and have been on both for many years.  Some dr.s say it does, some say it doesnt. I'm confused and scared. I would like to know what caused it and no one will give me a straight answer, or show me studies to prove the argument. Please help.

Did you by any chance stop the benzo abruptly?  Benzos are anti-seizure meds as well as anti-anxiety, and stopping abruptly if you've been taking them regularly as opposed to just as needed can cause a seizure.  But of course, lots of things can cause seizures or else nobody would ever get them.  Never heard of this as a problem attached to marijuana, but problems have to be reported to be known.
