When you vomit shortly after taking your medication, how do you handle the situation medication wise if you can physically see the meds in your vomit? What about if it is within a half hour and you cannot see your medication?
@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member it definitely isn't a gag reflex. I've been taking my medicine by the handful for years. It seems to be a stomach issue that I'm having issues with recently.
I didn't used to vomit during them. I have once before puked after I woke up but now more often than not I vomit during the convolutions...
Thank-you for all the shares and information. we were in denial about this diagnosis and were sure he would grow out of it...he shot up to 6 ft+ over the last 2 years. i still have hopes he will but… read more
Had grand mal seizure last night, after I came too. I needed help to bathroom & got sick for 20 minutes or so. I have never had that happen before.
Thank you! You too!
Abdominal epilepsy (AE) is a rare form of epilepsy where a person has seizures but also gastrointestinal symptoms, including nausea, and vomiting. AE occurs most often in children. However, it can… read more
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
Do any of you feel that travel makes your seizures worse? I once had a seizure while on a cruise ship - that was barrels of fun, but I did have the sick bay all to myself. And/or how do you carry your pharmacy of medications with you?
@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member , my seizures still aren’t full controlled . But since my DBS implant/surgery , my seizures have reduced half . Sometimes less than half
Apologies for asking this question or if it has been asked before. Has anyone vomited while or after having a seizure and do you know what triggered it? (not alcohol or over eating!)
The pharmacy recommended Vigabatrin for seizures. I was wondering if anyone takes it and if so, how effective is it at reducing your Complex-Partial Seizures? What side effects do you have? I'm seeing my family doctor tomorrow and might mention it; I'm wondering what side effects you experienced and how effective is it at reducing your Complex-Partial Seizures. I have tried just about every anti-seizure medication and had to give them up due to negative side effects (such as extreme depression)… read more
Talk to your PCP, but it’s likely that they won’t know much about it. Try your neurologist/epileptologist.
I hope that the new med is helpful and comfortable for you.
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.
