Nocturnal Seizures! Basically Seizures In Your Sleep, I Would Mostly Have One Right After I Fall Asleep Or Early In The Morning.

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Then, sleepwalking after I have a seizure.

Is anyone out there who has had them before and has been successfully treated for them or perhaps someone who is taking any kind of medications that has been useful to a certain extent because I’m taking 3 different medications and I’m still having the same problem.

Thank you for your time,

I agree with you and your post and the other people's posts here, I have those on occasion but I don't worry about them like before, they are more stable than before and I would suggest asking your doc about this and if anything changes they can do to make it easier for you and such, hang in there and try and stay pos, my opinion

Keppra has worked for me as well as monitoring closely those seizure triggers!! Meditation also helps I think. I also have nocturnal seizures. Best wishes!

Nocturnal seizures can be scary and disruptive. Several members of the MyEpilepsyTeam community have found effective treatments to help control their nighttime seizures. Antiepileptic medications prescribed by a neurologist are often very effective at decreasing seizure activity during sleep. Lifestyle changes may also help, like following a regular sleep schedule, avoiding seizure triggers, and getting daily exercise. If you live alone, look for clues in the morning like wetting the bed, biting your tongue, falling out of bed, feeling confused or tired, or having bruises. Let loved ones know what to do if you have a seizure at night. A seizure action plan can guide them to provide first aid and get medical care if needed. Consider safety precautions like low bed frames and wall mounted lights.
