When I had my last big seizure I had a similar thing. I basically lost all ability to talk which I now know was an Impaired awareness then it quickly progressed to a Tonic-clonic.

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member, side effects from Xanax are, drowsiness, lightheadedness, hallucinations and agitation and double vision to name a few. I have taken Gabapentin before, and it wasn't nice. Side effects are, drowsiness, dizziness, problems with balance and muscle movement for starters. Keppra (The Rage) will give you unusual mood changes and hallucinations. So, you have a lot of side effects going on to make anyone feel miserable. Talk to your doctor about what is going on and if they are happening after you take your medication. Hope you and your doctor will work something out.
