A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Ive peed my pants , ive taken my clothes off,and done a whole bunch of really weird and strange stuff while having seizures. I got my ass whooped by some emts that thought i was faking until i stopped breathing.

Our seizures can make us do many odd and weird things. It’s where the seizures are active, in the brain . Someone may be aggressive during the seizure. Some of us may vocalize words or sounds . Some may cry during and after the seizure. These are a few things that our seizures can do.

At the same our medications can have side effects , that can make us do similar things.

Think positively You've got a BMX hobby & you've only had 1 major fit in 6 months 3000mg of Levitiracetam( Keppra) Many people feel it affects their mood & makes them aggressive Some call it Kepprage.Do you mean you lash out if you're having a grand mal seizure with your movements ?,Some people may be trying to hold you ,when they really should make sure you're not near anything dangerous ,then stand back & let your seizure run its course I'm sure a lot of people feel their cognition isn't as good ,eg poor memory/ concentration/ recall of words/ events This can be a medication side effect too You're not alone Stay safe
