Toni Especially for any seizures in public. Can relax more without this worry for sure. Just let it pass know you'll be fine after too. Then be glad it did to help riled emotions settle down. Be happy… read more
I'm not sure if I took my medicine twice.. Could I have a seizure if I did? I take 2,000 mg of Keppra XR
If not sure call dr or pharmacy
Last night I took two doses of my medication in the space of two hours. It was at night time. These were Zebinix, Zonetran, Keppra, Fycompra & Folic Acid. Again (as mentioned in a previous post) I felt a hazzy almost 'high' feeling.
Should people do anything I'm particular when this happens?
If You ever take more medication then You are supposed to don’t waste any time, call your doctor right away. A neurologist is the only person that is going to know what You should really do.
If you start feeling overdose and can’t walk call for emergency, or if you have a family or friend near you that can take you to the hospital, If possible.
If you feel it’s a mild overdose, then… read more
I had a conversation with a few people here. We all have had difficulties speaking. Getting confused, slurring words, dyslexia getting worse, not being able to put sentences together properly, etc.
If that’s a seizure, what type of seizure is it?
Or is it more likely just side-effects of medications?
Thanks.

I always had trouble speaking clearly when I was having an aura, which is a warning sign for a seizure.
I am currently living with a family member. I am wanting to provide a home for myself, yet I am very scared, and so is my family member.
I haven't lived alone for quite some time, due to filing for disability, I wasn't able to work and had no income. Now that I have been approved for disability and there is some income (not really much to live on) I want to live on my own again.
What precautions are there for me to take?
what advice can be given to me?
It wasn’t frightening , living on my own . But, because of my I am not aware of when I seizure, I can’t report to my Dr. , whether or not , if I had any seizure
Everyone reacts differently, when forgetting to take the AED meds. Some might seizure right away, some can go an hour before seizure , and then some can go longer .
My seizures last about 5 minutes (or less), although the seizure stops I still remain unconscious for long (anything between 10-40 minutes), should someone seek medical assistance or is it best to just to just wait it out. My neurologist says there is nothing they can do so best just to wait. It’s a terrible feeling and it’s a struggle to regain consciousness, move my limbs and open my eyes. I just want a second opinion to set my husband at ease when it happens.
It depends on the person
I’ve had stitches twice, and fractured a bone in my good shoulder this year. I’ve had knee and shoulder surgery in the past. My knee continues to swell up at times and my bad shoulder can pop in and out.
I shouldn’t be complaining but I haven’t needed a Advil, Tylenol or aspirin.
After a seizure I can feel the headache but it doesn’t hurt.
From falling or just accidentally injuring myself. Doesn’t matter if seizure related or not.
Grand mal seizures are the same as tonic clinic. I’m seeing a neurologist next week and am interested in the fastest most effective medicines that have worked for those with the same issue.
