seizure symptoms treatment

Docorate is a medication approved for treatment of psychiatric symptoms, and not generally used to treat siezures. In many U.S. practices the drill is only to prescribe medications to control siezures after the third documented siezure. That is not to say the medication is innapropriate. There are many unanswered questions regarding the patient's symptoms and general medical status.

I have been having a new set of symptoms which includes stabbing, dart-like pains in various muscles. I also have internal vibration which is very disconcerting. I can even feel my lungs vibrating when I breathe. I am scheduled for an MRI of my neck and have completed a nerve study and EMG which showed nothing . Any advice or ideas?

It sounds like your having symptoms of the endo.. as far as the seizure like symptoms that I would bring this with the GYN first. I personally have never heard of symptoms like that relating to endo.. The GYN may ( and should be able to) refer you to neurology.

i know the jerky movements are from withdrawl i always saw them when he was using but these are like full body would almost think seizure like movements---scares me and him. i personally think it is just the chemicals in his brain getting back to normal but am not positive. he was taking i'd say 300mg of oxycontin daily snorting them. thanks for the help.

And final question, is this partial seizure can be cured completely ? what else we need to do improve the treatment. Took MRI scan and nothing found other than Sinus. Blood levels are fine.

Around the same time as the seizure I started a treatment that causes muscle pain/fatigue and flu like symptoms. I contributed the back pain to the treatment as I was told it would probably get worse. Is it possible that all this time I've been dealing with an injury from the fall. Could this shoulder pain be related as well, even though it's been 3 months? The pain wakes me up at night and makes it hard to stand at times.

If I taper slowly off of tramadol, can I avoid withdrawal symptoms all together? Or will I feel withdrawal pains no matter what?

Only your doctor knows how to manage your epileptic seizures and medications your taking in addition to treatment meds. All of the other symptoms are experienced by everyone I know who has gone through triple treatment.

It was not until the last two years that I start having these seizures again, but this time these seizures are easily controlled. There is one type of seizure though that really shocks my parents and I is when I have one, I will feel that I need to barf. However, nothing comes out and also there is no pain afterward. What is this about? Also, I want to know what I should do to having fewer seizures because each day I have one.

A significant change in the usual seizure pattern like in terms of seizure type, seizure length, or associated symptoms needs immediate medical attention. A changing pattern of seizures may indicate ineffective control of seizures or ineffectivity of the anticonvulsants. It is best to consult your neurologist about it and get the appropriate treatment. Hope it helps. Best wishes!

Apart from treatment of withdrawal symptoms, your husband should drink water, eat healthy and take multivitamin. If the symptoms still persist then he may need CT scan or MRI and EEG. Please consult your doctor regarding this. Take care! The medical advice given should not be considered a substitute for medical care provided by a doctor who can examine you. The advice may not be completely correct for you as the doctor cannot examine you and does not know your complete medical history.

It showed lesions on my brain in the parahippocampal and right temporal horn region. I was put on seizure medication and I still am not convinced that I have seizures. Medicine doesn't really help. Recently I have been uncoordinated. I get dizzy then my limbs and head feel very heavy. I get very weak. Always feels like my head is floating yet heavy. Spots in my left eye and sometimes my right but eye exam ok.

No $#!T.. That's what I've mentioned before.. I already know all this.. it's just mentioning that the only type of brain damage incurred is from repeated and untreated seizures.. That's weird how seizures can have their own severity.. some happen when ya don't even know it! Kind of makes ME wonder.. Substance induced seizures are pretty nasty.. I've seen them on television.. definitely nothing comfortable to see..

My 9 yr old was diagnosed with seizure disorder last week after stress EEG showed multiple abnormal firings in left parietal lobe. MD states that it is most definitely seizure activity/disorder. His symptoms are so vague, though, that we often don't know when he is having a seizure, or what to do. We only seem to know for sure that he had a seizure after the fact, because he sleeps 3-7 hours.

Hi there. I am hoping someone can help me. My boyfriend is a type 2 diabetic. He suffers from very high sugar. However, when his sugar drops to low he has seizures. Now is the seizures due to low sugar or high sugar. Test showed high sugar. Can a high sugar also cause seizures. I don't want to treat him with the wrong treatment ie glucose if it is actually a high sugar seizure and not low like we think it is? Very confused as the treatment for high and low is so different?

It could be epilepsy, but the fact that, from the way you mentioned it, the head banging somewhat woke you up does not point toward a seizure because usually when you come out of a seizure, you are confused, extremely tired, and sore. Also, you wouldn't be able to be woken up from the head banging. Although, the fact that the shower nob held up your head by hair would be suspicious of something more than fainting...

In 9/2009 in the early morning as she was dressing for school, she passed out and was taken to the ER because she hit her head. Initial ER diagnosis was that the problem was due to vagal response. Presenting symptoms included recent sinus infection and ear infection, severe constipation, headache, jaw tightness and pain, and abdominal pain. Within 20 minutes of being released she has some kind of episode where her lip was drawn up on one side and her head turned off several times to one side.

Dilantin is a good medication for focal seizures, but it has its side effects and there are medications with less side effects for long-term treatment of epilepsy.

Seizures (convulsions) have occurred in some people taking tramadol. You may be more likely to have a seizure while taking tramadol if you have a history of seizures or head injury, a metabolic disorder, or if you are taking certain medicines such as antidepressants, muscle relaxers, or medicine for nausea and vomiting. Take tramadol exactly as it was prescribed for you. Do not take it in larger doses or for longer than recommended by your doctor.
