It is important to accurately describe the seizure, timing of the day the seizure occurred and also in what setting.

I have been taking epilepsy drugs since I was two years old Starting on fenobarbital, gardinal and rivotril. Now I am on Diplexil. I haven´t been experiencing any seizure or loss of consciosness since I was 30. But sometimes I have pen lights on my right eye for a few minutes. Can I consider that as photosensitive epilepsy? My biggest problem is my sex drive. I lost it completely. I lost the interest in sex. I don´t have any excitment. Does it have to do with the drugs I have been taking?

Epilepsy can occur due to abnormal neuronal discharges from brain following a head injury, some drugs, withdrawal from drugs, hypoglycemia, hyponatremia, a slow growing brain tumor etc . a neurologist needs to examine you at the earliest. Certain tests, blood tests to see electrolyte level, CT, MRI scan need to be done to aid in coming to a conclusion as to what is causing the symptoms. Please go to the neurology emergency immediately.
he had a seizure (laid on side, legs stiff paddling, foaming at mouth) for about 30 seconds then got up and walked around seeming fine within 5 min. About 8 hrs. later he had another seizure & I called the vet & took him in. Due to the Diarrhea the vet figured he was having stomach cramps, gave me metronidazole for the diarrhea & loperamide for the cramps. All was fine. On Mar. 31 his hind legs seemed to be slipping more than usual, a friend was taking care of him for the weekend.
She immediately started taking Carbamazepine (Tegratol) 300mg twice daily. She has been on the drug for three months and has remained seizure free which we are so thankful for. She has gained a bit of weight but is not experiencing any other side effects. However, since starting the drug she has struggled with her swim performance. As she is also starting puberty, I am unsure if the weight gain and her swim performance is related to this or as a result of the medication.
I had a seizure last sunday I was sleeping, and I was not on any drugs and did not drink the night before. . It was my first one. I was rushed to the ER, I had a cat scan and an MRI- both came back normal. I had an EEG and it came back abnormal. I met with a neurologist today, and she has no explanation for me, and wants me to get another EEG done.... does anyone have any ideas on what might have caused me to have a seizure?
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....
