seizure
im going thru my opiate WD (lorcet) i last night i felt like i was gonna have a seizure. is this possible?
Wouldnt that mean that theres some sort of connection there seeing as people usually experience anxiety when they have a seizure. Could it be that people who have anxiety disorder have some sort of epileptic disorder maybe even just having small seizures that they dont even realize they are having?
She will be sitting and playing and just sort of phases out..stares, mouth is always open, no blinking. I call her name, snap, clap my hands...and she sort of tunes back in. Suddenly all smiles again and cooing and babbling away. This happens several times a day and lasts about a minute. I know that does not sound long but it feels like forever when she is doing it. Can this be some type of seizure?
Okay... I know it's several days after you posted this, but nobody's answered and I just came across it now.
Don't panic... Upon reading what you described, my first thought is... your kid might have epilepsy. All those strange things she's doing .. that could be a seizure. Many people only know about the generalized seizures (entire brain misfiring briefly) where a person will fall down and shake or simply become unaware of their surroundings and stare off into space.
Lyme disease is a tick-borne illness caused by a spirochete called Borrelia. Lyme has multiple clinical manifestations and different phases. An early localized phase characterized by the skin lesions. An early disseminated phase with some more constitutional symptoms, and sometimes neurologic or cardiac manifestations. A late phase in which patients complain of arthritis and sometimes neurologic manifestations like neuropathy or encephalopathy.
If she is punished nothing phases her i.e. no t.v., no phone, no internet etc. 18). On two ocaisions in 2014, she just completely and voluntarily stopped taking her seizure medication "because she didn't want to take it anymore" causing her to have a seizure both times. 19). Watches an enormous amount of pornography....thus why the internet was taken away. She sees nothing wrong with this. she refuses to go see a doctor.....WILL FREAK OUT IF YOU MENTION IT.
You are on a high dose now, so tapering slowly and switching to klonopin at the end and some anti seizure medication the very last week is what you have to do, and have all of this monitored closely by your doctor. I would suggest tapering in phases...phase one getting down to the 1 -2 mgs level/day, and learning how to sleep without xanax, maybe substituting some short term use of ambien if necessary.
Your menstrual cycle occurs in phases, your period and ovulation being two separate phases. During each cycle, ovulation actually occurs after menstruation (your period). Here's some more info on that, https://menstrupedia.com/articles/physiology/cycle-phases . You're going to get your period again at the start of your next cycle, so you just have to figure out when your phases occur during the month in order to figure out if you're getting your period this month.
I was wondering about a seizure when I first read this, too. My husband has had a seizure disorder and there is a period directly following a seizure called the "postictal phase" that can last from seconds to days. I incorrectly call it "auto-pilot". He seems pretty normal, in fact to a stranger he seems perfectly normal. He can carry on conversations about specific events or weather conditions, but he will have NO MEMORY of it at all once he is out of that phase.
yes - lamectal, keppra, prozac, adderall
my parents had been to the vet and when I got home I sat with him while he suffered 4 more seizures I decided that I could not see him suffer and we went to vet and tio got the jag to sleep as u can imagine has been upsetting. my question is I found out when he took the first seizure When I was home with himhe struggled to do a poo outside and it looked strange.
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.
It does still fit the description of a seizure. Not all seizures involve paddling, slobbering and loss of bladder control. Those are basically what are considered to be grand mal seizures. Petite mal seizures can be anything from a twitching of the head to a state of catatonia for a brief time, which sounds more or less like what your girl had.
Please let us know what the vet says when you do get to take her in.
Good luck to you!

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?
