I have never had a night seizure before. I also haven't regularly had seizures, mine seem to happen in big sessions, last one was 7 Grand Mal / tonic clonic seizures.

It only lasts 2 days and then I am OK, well still a bit tired but can at least answer simple questions.

Hi,
I've just had pregabalin recommended to me by my neurologist as an alternative to Lorazepam for my anxiety as he considers Lorazepam to be too addictive for regular use.
