my stepfather has several various symptons which lead to him having seizures even when he's just taken his meds. They leave him with memory loss for the episodes, clammy skin and he turns into "Mr. Plastic Man" and very incoherent for the duration of his seizure. He sleeps most of the day and through the night, has had several operations on his ears and eardrums. He has suffered rapid weight loss and loss of appetite.
Hi there, the various side effects with keppra or levetiracetam are dizziness, irritability, tiredness, fatigue, severe allergic reactions, extreme dizziness, drowsiness, weakness or tiredness, memory loss, behavior changes like aggression, panic attacks, restlessness, new or worsening seizures etc. in the period immediately after a seizure attack, it could be the post ictal phase or confusion.

In 2007 he had a hip replacement done and ended up having 3 operations within one week because of complications. My question is could the buildup of medications etc cause him to now have memory loss, language skills loss and tremors in his right hand. He walked in to the hospital on crutches and now is dependent on a wheelchair.
I also had headaches for 4 months and in January of this year 2012 I had a mini stroke and now I have some memory loss and I still get dizzy, headaches, and I am always tired. My eye sight also goes blurry once in a while. I have to go to neurologist on the 14th of this month (February). I hate this I wish it would get better. How are you feeling now.
My seizures have varied in length, severity and side effects. Some have caused severe memory loss at the time, but slowly my memory came back. Some are life changing, and some are a minor inconvenience, but all are life threatening.
What I must tell you is that in MY experience T-C seizures DO cause damage to the brain. Recall, memory, cognition, and focus have been a few symptoms for me at one time or another. As for permanent loss, I can only say I've noticed SOME degree of loss.
Hi! I am in the process of having more tests done, but it seems my docs don't even know which direction to LOOK. I am a 35yr old female, w/ history of migraine w/ aura & several episodes of "complicated migraine". 2-3 months ago, I had an episode that they can only assume was a complicated migraine (MRI & EEGs were normal). The severity of the episode improved over 24-48hrs...

My question is with him taking these two type of medications he is still having seizure and cant sleep. Me as a mother do know what to think and do to help him. Can someone help me with this.
I have heard that memory loss can be a problem on a lot of seizure medication. I know that my brother-in-law talks about it. That might be something you want to bring up with your doctor. See if maybe you can get some kind of documentation about this problem. They can't fire you on account of a disability that's illegal.
Since taking this medication she seems to have memory loss under stressful situations, mainly exams and her grades have dropped by 30 percent. She was always a good student and studies a lot. Nothing else explains the change and her understanding during lesson time is great according to her teachers. Is there an alternative to tegratol which does not have these side effects, or do all anti epileptic drugs cause these problems?
Hi, Thank you very much for your question; although it is quite difficult for me to give you a precise diagnosis here without being able to examine you, though I would try to provide you some relevant information about your health concern. You need a proper assessment and investigation here since there can be many causes for memory loss & concentration impairment.
Hi, I am a 21 year old female who has been experiencing memory loss issues. I've always had not the best memory, but now in the past 4-5 months its gotten to a point where its negatively impacting my life on a daily basis; I can't remember things I've done with my friends, inside jokes, people I've met, what a movie I watched a month ago was about. Every day when someone says "Remember this happened..
I have been experiencing seizure like symptoms but when you look up the different types of seizures and you look up their symptoms online. I do not fall under any category I fall under many categories but the fact that I have a lapse in memory loss I have twitching in parts of my limbs that are completely random sometimes I have a sensation of sweat and heat. so the new symptom is that I get Goosebumps so my hair stands up on end very frequently. I suffer from migraines.
Hello,
A friend of mine (17 years old female, Caucasian/Hispanic) has been suffering from what APPEAR to be non-epileptic tonic-clonic seizures since May of 2008. These episodes have not been witnessed by medical professionals; therefore, I am calling them seizures because that's what they present as (severe muscle convulsions, loss of memory of episode, 'glossy', absent look beforehand).
Though the risk of seizures is there after any traumatic injury of brain, it is compounded by marijuana. How much at risk your friend is its difficult to say. Since there is memory loss, frontal brain is probably affected.
Hope this helps. Do let me know if there is any thing else and keep me posted. Take care!
If I hit my elbow, knee,fingers and or stub my toes bam! Lights go out! I started to lose loss of temporary memory when I was a child. As I got older in my teens the pain inflictions started and then i'd passout from the pain.
Sex made me passout if gone to far. I would have to be put into a bathtub to help me come out of it. My first marriage on my honeymoon I had a gran mar seizure bit completely through my lip and had bowel movement. I can't give blood I will have a seizure.
I have been taking Tegretol XR (carbemazipene) for several years now to treat partial frontal-lobe seizures. I have noticed an increase in memory loss. It has been remarked on at work where things have been brought up by my supervisors and co-workers that I have absolutely no memory of. Does Tegretol have an effect on memory? If so, is it reversible?
I had a brain tumor, which was misdiagnosed for years as a lesion. My seizures got worse and worse, impacting my life in every way, memory loss, inabilitiy to drive, work, live on my own, etc.etc. I ended up being the one who pushed to have a surgical workup, and had to undergo a larger surgery, a left temporal lobectomy, versus just removing the tumor, which was in my left temporal lobe. It was tricky, because no one had ever really associated this "lesion" (i.e.
