Respectfully, you are confusing medical terms, including the requirement for the diagnosis of epilepsy, which is irrelevant. Your symptoms are typical of what is cdalled a petit mal seizure.

I haven't know Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine hcl) to cause seizures. However there's a lot I don't know. I did a search. Only one site lists seizures as a side effect when taking Flexeril.
Thanks for your answer.

Seizures can be caused by alot of things - allergies, heat stroke, lack of sleep, malnutrition, skipping medication, other medical conditions, etc. sounds like you should get a full physical and a battery of tests. Between now and then keeping a journal for your doctors helps.
My brother is 27 years old with no major medical issues.He had an absence seizure followed by a blow to the head when he fell, followed by a tonic-clonic seizure. There is no major drug use reported, and no history in the family of epilepsy or any other seizure disorder. What could have caused this?
