seizure
I had a seizure this Monday and my EEg showed abnomal. The Dr. wants me to start trgretol xr 200mg for two weeks and then double it. I am not sure I want to try with the restrictions I now have plus the drug reactions. I'd like to hear from some epople who have been using this medication and living well with it.
I was up to about 200 mg three times a day for back pain from an old car wreck. Three days ago I had a seizure and stopped breathing. My poor husband had to give me cpr, and my sweet 10 year old boy saw it all. I am so ashamed. I was taken by ambulance to ER. Got the CAT scan and EEG. have an appt. with a Neurologist in TWO WEEKS (you know how long it takes.) Meanwhile, I am in lotsa pain. I swear I cracked some ribs, seizing.
I smoked it again then I felt like I was having a seizure not as bad as the seizure I had with the K2 but my whole left side of my body went numb and I had a burning smell in my nose. I felt confused. Since then I have not smoked ANYTHING at all. And all this was about a month ago. About two weeks ago I had a 3 day EEG and an MRI done and both came back NORMAL amazingly. But since I smoked the Marijuana last month I have had a numb feeling all over my left side of my body.
with any opiate there is always a possibility you could have a seizure .however this drug is not know to be one of the ones that do it often ,tramadol and benzos have a higher seizure rate . I would not be to worried about having a seizure coming off it.
We were in despair, my husband was missing so much work, and we could do nothing for our sons suffering! At just over 1 year old he started to have a febrile seizure once during every episode. We were in the ER every month with no help. In August 2008 he had two seizures during one fever episode and spent 5 days in the Calgary Children's Hospital where he had a host of blood work and tests done, along with a brain scan. We were discharged with no answers, only a referral to a pediatrian.
My son 35 years old has just had a seizure during the night. This one has left him with very sore calfs and is making waking difficult. After 2 days this seems to be getting better but the other problem that occured is that his tongue is very mashed, cut and very sore so he must have been clamping down on it during the siezure. Is this something that happens and will it heal on its own and if anything can you tell us anything that will ease the pain as this heals?
Apparently, I fainted and fell down on the floor. My mother heard a big thump she walked. From what she described, I was having a seizure. When I came back to my senses, i noticed I had bit my tongue and inside of my cheek. I was taken to ER and they ran some blood tests, and CT scan that was normal
It was my very first seizure at age 25. I have no family history of seizure disorders. I have been a vegetarian all my life.
i take meds for epilepsy & have used xanax recreationally in the past. i recently got 30 & took one "bar" a day for about a week - (maybe 2 on sunday night) then didnt take any since sunday. tuesday i had a mild seizure. do you think ive been "on it" long enough for that to be the cause of that seizure?? - b.
My son is 25 and has seizure disorder. This past Thanksgiving, he had a total of 5 seizures over 24 hours necessitating a hospital visit and stay. They put him on a third seizure medication (Lamotrigine). I spoke with a neurologist at USF who didn't like that a 3rd medication was added before his previous two were maxed out--he was already on Keppra (max dosage) and Depakote (sprinkles--very low dose), so she titrated him up on the Depakote so we could get rid of the Lamotrigine.
ll give him the recap of the heart palpitations/electrical shock seizure. My PCP now really thinks this is MS because of the electrical shocks but cervical disk problems can also cause electrical shocks. So I'll defer to the experts on that.
I'll be back to the forum off and on. I really appreciate the support from everyone here. I'll give you an update on my neuro appt next Friday. And once I have the surgery I will give additional updates.
So after seeking 3 opinions from neurosurgeons, it looks like the consensus is that we should have my husband's 3 benign meningiomas treated with surgery removal. This is b/c of his young age (31) and the fact he's symptomatic (seizure and headaches). He doesn't fit into the typical mold - gender, age, amount of tumors and no family history. The biggest risk of surgery is that he may lose his sense of smell/taste.
I have been smoking marijuana for a while now and i have epilepsy, i had my first seizure when i was 10 and was put on medication for it for 5 years and never had one since then.
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?
