No it doesn't work that way? Seizures come AFTER a COLD TURKEY withdrawal of a week or two. While I don't doubt you started feeling the early signs of withdrawal, it you had two seizures already I would get to a Neurologist as soon as possible? You might have some problems.

The time when full withdrawal may occur depends on the individual. For some people it may take a week or more, but for some people it could happen very rapidly, even after just missing a dose or two, it can also depend on their dose and how long they've been taking it.

A brief, accidental dose increase shouldn't cause it, Eddy is right on that. Seizures usually only occur after a sudden withdrawal from benzodiazepines.

However, the relevant question is, did the doctors confirm that this is what caused the seizures?

Will you being seeing a neurologist?
