seizure
She has developmental delays, speech delays, a syrinx cyst on her spinal cord, low muscle tone, and a seizure disorder. We started Keppra in January for the seizures, and while she hasn't had anymore seizures, she is now getting to where she hits, bites, and pinches me (mommy) when she gets mad or upset. She only does it to me, if I am not around, she will bite her own forearm.
She never had a grand mal seizure until she started taking depakote. When she skipped pills, she had a seizure. This passed February, she was suddenly diagnosed with polymyositis and she's taking more meds plus getting IVIG monthly. They recently lowered her meds for the polymyositis and I found out she lowered her meds for seizures too (not by doctor recomendation). She just had an EEG today to check how her seizures are going.

my stepdad has been recently diagnosed with a seizure disorder. He feels more sick on the medication than he did beforehand. Hes constantly throwing up from being so nauseous , he explains what he says his limbs are gonna explode, he also gets pounding headaches. He is on 1500mg 2x daily. Anyone else experience anything like this??
You have been on a slow taper program, the chance that you have suffered or will suffer a seizure is pretty non-existant. You need to follow up with your doctor if you continue to have these concerns.
Sinusitis causes every single symptom you complain of....as can anxiety. You have obviously been very very very preoccupied with every aspect of this taper..which is most definitely adding to your symptoms and keeping that anxiety cycle going in full swing.
ve tried without success. So in 2000 I went to my doctor about it and he gave me wellbutrin(Same result as Zyban but covered by my insurance). Anyways, a week to the time I popped the pill in my mouth, I had a Grand Mal seizure and would up in the hospital for a week. I lost my job and ended up getting so behind in my bills I had to declare bankruptcy in 2005. I found out when I was in the hospital that i have a seizure disorder.....but seems to be caused by environmental/drugs.
A few minutes later he was throwing up. Then got really tired afterwards. He does have a seizure disorder. And is taking medication 2 times a day.
Why did this happen? Im scared and don't really know what to do. Was it the weed that made him do this, or the medication he's taking? I don't want him to do it again but I'm afraid he'll want to and that one of these times he's not gonna gain consciousness....
It is important to accurately describe the seizure, timing of the day the seizure occurred and also in what setting. Then the question arises if the seizure should be treated – this is answered by looking at the risk and benefits of having a recurrent seizure and the side effects of the antiepileptics.
Ultimately, the workup will need to identify the cause of the seizure. Is it from an intracranial lesion, an epileptic syndrome, stress, etc? You will need to have neuroimaging performed (i.e,.
About 20 years ago, I was sitting with my kids and husband, then came to in the hospital. They said I had fainted and was talking to them, but I had no memory of that. They took multiple tests, but came up with nothing wrong. I was weak for several days, but then was back to normal.
My 20 year old son has had two episode in roughly the last year and is being diagnosed with a seizure disorder. Last April 17th, he sat down to a computer mid-morning in college, and turned on the computer. The next thing he knew he was in an ambulance, with no recollection of the transition. At the time, he had not eaten and was drinking a non-caffinated soda (not the diet variety). The hospital ran an EKG and a CAT scan and told him they could not find a cause.
I don't think people who have a seizure remember the seizure, but he definitely had something. Maybe it's a thyroid problem. He needs to be seen, but an ER is the slowest, most expensive and least efficient way to do it.
Hello.
You have done a good job by bringing this to the forum. There is a possibility of a partial seizure. But you should also consider something called as eye tics. These are not so uncommon in infants.
You may need to get an EEG done. A video EEG is preferred. It has the advantage of letting us see the brain waves during such an episode or up rolling of eyes.
Did he have any significant birth complications?
My 4 yr old son was diagnosed with seizure disorder 7/2012. Genetic and metabolic work-up turned out negative. MRI did show cortical dysplasia, Left Temporal Lobe. We've done monotherapy with Trileptal and failed, and have recently added Keppra on the regimen. So far, he hasn't had his night time seizures but he has these episode in the morning where he gets startled, starts grunting, his arms gets stif; it lasts just a few seconds so I could never get a video of it.
