I’m sure it varies, I have not ever had seizure “clusters”. Fortunately my seizures don’t generally last very long, about 5 minutes

I have had this happen many times & that’s why I have “lorazepam” medication as my emergency medication when I’m having seizure clusters lasting over 5 minutes. It’s my savior when the seizures woke me up from sleeping & wont stop & I just want to go back to sleep. Lorazepam pretty quickly stops the seizures & I pass back out. Anyone tried Lorazepam for this?

When I am hit with a startle seizures they run in a cluster with a few seconds in between. Generally three but sometimes more. Most I have had is 5 at once I think.

It's dif per person, I may have had 2 in a day, I'm not sure if they were one after the first one happening, but have had more than one in a day I think, I think that my current condition is more stable than before and I am ok with that and so is my doc, I know that they happen time to time but are spaced out let's say, but happen. Way better than before when I diagnosed with my opinion here, hang in there and try to stay pos, I do.

That has not happened to me. I did have 5-8 second seizures when sleeping, according to the EEG Cap. During that time (3 days?) they only saw one very short when I was awake.
