Questions for New Neurologist: Medication, Birth Control, and More

What should I ask my new neurologist? My old pediatric neurologist retired so I'm seeing an adult(?) one. What should I ask her? The only current questions I have are pertaining to possibly drinking and/or smoking with my meds, and discussing birth control. Any other advice? I had seen my last neurologist for about 3 years, and he was very informative but sometimes appointments felt rushed.

It’s not a good idea to to drink or smoke with epilepsy. It can trigger seizures and make them and make the worse.

CBT is it? Helps people but it's better eaten than smoked
