I'm not the Vet, but wanted to say that there is a thread going over in The Pet forum, under Dogs, that may have alot of your answers. It's on the first page titled: "Seizures....Epilepsy?" There are also web sights listed dealing with the subject (On this thread). Maybe this will help you....Good Luck...
If no reversible cause is found, then the patient may have to be maintained on anti-seizure medications for an indefinite period of time. The best that you can do for now is make sure he is able to take in the medications prescribed. You can also ask your doctor if there are any ongoing clinical trials or studies that can offer some assistance regarding the provision of medications. Be strong. Regards and God bless.
After the seizure ends, place the child on one side and stay with the child until he or she is fully awake. Do not try to give food, liquid, or medications by mouth to a child who has just had a seizure.
If the diagnosis is indeed a seizure, discuss the best treatment option for him. Regular intake of medication will help prevent recurrences. Take care and do keep us posted.
I have several MRI & CT that show I have bulging disc. On the day I had the seizure they did a CT ANGIOGRAM HEAD NECH W CONTRAST. The radiologist did an addendum that states: Straightening of the normal lordotic curvature of the cervical spine may indicate positioning of the paraspinal muscle spasm. There is mild intravertebral disc space narrowing at C5-6 with associated endplate osteophytosis. There is no fracture or listhesis. There is no bony foraminal narrowing.
Aside from my seizures 4 years ago, I had no previous history of seizure disorder. There has been no seizure activity until this most recent event. Could this seizure have been associated with the use of nitrous or lidocaine? Also, I have been experiencing severe headaches and light-headedness since the seizure.
Well, seizures are one of the side effects of risperdal and can occur any time after starting the medication. However, if they have started after eight years of medications, other causes too should be looked into. You may need an EEG. Please consult your doctor regarding this immediately. Take care!

I had epilepsy when I was younger and yet all my EEGs were normal, they had no other way to explain what was happening though and whatever it was responded to seizure medications so they decided it was that. All an EEG does is measure your brain waves while you're hooked up to the machine, seizures show up as spikes or "epilepsy waves" on the machine which confirms a diagnosis of epilepsy.
non epileic seizures are seizure like symptoms (autonomic nervous system symptoms) with no epileptic spikes seen on EEG. It has medical causes to it as well. Examples are hypoglycemic/hyperglycemia (low or high bloos sugar), severe electrolyte imbalances, medications, dysautonomia, and more.
My son is 3yrs he will be 4 in June, perfectly normal little boy with normal development, no seizure history in both sides of the family. His 1st seizure was feb 17, 2011 lasted about a minute, the night before he had a high fever and later that same day also. Both fevers were treated. On the first episode he spent the night at the hospital for observation because when they took his temperature in the emergency room it was actually low 96F.

I have a friend who had a random seizure one morning after she had been vomiting and had diarrhea all night before. She also had not been sleeping well or at all some nights the whole month before. I took her to the emergency room and she had blood work done and a CT scan done both came back just fine. The doctor told her it was probably that she was dehydrated, and had lack of sleep that put too much stress on her brain. He also told her to consult a family doctor.
Ever since my Neurologist started taking me off my anti seizure meds, I've started getting these brain spasms, I guess you could call them that anyways. They only happen on days I'm not on my meds. For example, last week when I tried not to take my meds for the first time, I had a really bad brain spasm where my entire brain kinda froze, and my body jolted and I dropped everything I was holding. I had many more of those and had to go home from school.

Common causes include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics, statins (cholesterol medications), antiepileptics (seizure medications), and antituberculous medications. Then, the physician can prove the medication is the cause by stopping the medication and observing return of the enzyme levels to normal.
