I give you a hug! New high dose makes me work fast and get grumpy then cannot sleep all thru the night. The Dr said this will pass!
She tells me I am the most emotional man she has ever known. But I attribute it to my condition. I don't recall being like this until six years ago.
That doesn't happen to me, but it's different for everybody. I get angry easily (might be keppra rage, not sure), but that's only because things never go my way, no matter how hard I try.
Yes. Well more from being over excited, from big parties, Holiday get togethers, concerts, and live sporting events.
Mostly as a ramification to seizures, but not out of that. I always find it’s a fine line of what to consider mental illness as it is human and normal to go through something like depression when you… read more
Does anyone feel really emotional or a change in their emotions after their seizure or for the next day or so?
I find I can feel quite down and sad, sometimes near crying or I cry a little. Not crying because I can't cope or that I'm upset about having a seizure, just more that I feel really down. In the past I've also felt a little angry or moody after a seizure as well.
Just wondering if this is normal and if anyone else has experienced this?
I have grand mal/tonic clonic seizures.
Thanks x
I can become real emotional sometimes. When it happens is 1’of the things that can make it so emotional for me.
Lately I have been having seizures flurries and once I am able to get them to stop, the anxiety and depression doesn't die down much and it weighs on me and my body.
Resting and relaxing is what I do to 🤷♀️ sleeping 😴

I Was Told By A Neighbor Who Also Have Seizures And She Told Me That Even Though Im A Good Writer That I Should Stop The Over Thinking And Also Caring Too Much. Has Anyone Ever Been Told That?
Sid, everyone is different. Telling you to stop writing would be like telling me to stop going to family and friends get togethers, parties, concerts, sporting events and ect.. When I get over… read more
Does anyone find they cry following a seizure or does crying lead to a seizure? I'm not sure if this is depression caused by medication?
Stress is a major trigger for me. I guess it could be a chicken and the egg question. A major seizure leaves me extremely confused. Fortunately that has not happened for quite a while. Not knowing… read more
Such as feeling bad about yourself or having a bad day.
I noticed that a lot of my seizures have been triggered by stress. For instance I had a big seizure when I had a family member pass. And I didn’t even see that make so much of an impact on me.
But… read more
