It was actually a few weeks ago. I didn't know it was a seizure till I talked to my neurologist. I felt that dizzy, out of it feeling like I feel after having a seizure but was able to continue with what I was doing. No visible seizure to anyone around me. I wasn't around anyone when the feeling first started but was afterward. And no feeling of my body moving or anything like I have in seizures.

It was just a sudden feeling of being dizzy and feeling like I had a seizure.

Has anyone felt… read more

In reflection,after the doctor told me I had epilepsy, I remembered some of the 'feelings',I had before the first tonic clonic.seizure. The out of body, the deja vu feeling with total fatigue afterward and the migraines.After having a week in hospital with no medication and electrodes on my head they found during the seizure, I finally had, on the last day packing up to go home,began in my right temporal lobe spreading to frontal lobe,then on to the rest of my brain.Now we are aware of the mental health issues combined with my condition as well. I have a good relationship with my neurologist and we agree on what is best for the best outcome in my treatment. Having a doctor who is at least sympathetic to your condition is best.

Yes but I'm 45 & disabled for grand mal seizures but last few months been having more frequent referred to like petite mal seizures. They have changed names of them now sounds like yours may be frontal lobe seizures which is area behind the forhead.

When I was having seizures, I took Trileptal, Keppra and Dilantin. They helped but they never gave me total control. I got that after surgery.

All of my seizures started the same way. I was getting scared for no reason. Then they either went away, I blacked out or I blacked out and fell to the floor.

What medicines do you take? The main ones I take for seizures are Lamtrogine and Keppra but I take several things for neuropathy that are also anti seizure medicines. The ones I take for neuropathy for me personally don't help with the seizures (Lyrica, Phenytoin, and other things I take.) I hope these seizures don't continue for me. Time will tell.
