Depression and Epilepsy: What’s the Connection? Read Article...

Good question I had that awhile back thinking it was seizure but doc prescribed vertigo meds. Take only as needed.

yes and no... depends on you, the type of seizure(s), the side effect of the med, or a little bit of both.

Yes, Olivia, bryanmartin2 just gave a good explanation. I usually experience it beforehand, but sometimes after, too.

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member that narrows it down... side effects or the tonic-clonic (blackouts). if the vertigo is minutes befor or after a seizure... that is a warning seizure (before) or recovery time (after). if the vertigo is constant... it is the med side effects. you may have both.

If you're depression is the cause of it . Just try to calm yourself, I can't say how it is for everyone but try to work through it for yourself an your body
