Bruises

Has any body discovered random bruises on them while taking any seizure meds? I get random ones then it knots up then starts itching so bad I end up breaking the skin.
I'm scared that something is wrong.

I have no problems with bruises anymore but can admit 30 years ago and before then the problem happened alot and yes part of it was thanks to while having a seizure whether at night in bed or while I was awake during the day and had a seizure I often bruised myself but other things can lead to it also which are: Taking extreme high doses of a medication like my doctor at the time in the early 1980's had me taking along with I was allergic to one medication back in the day I was first Diagnosed with Epilepsy in 1960. So yes bruising is not unusual for many people. Plus a side effect of many medications or most medications no matter what they are for is easy bruising.

I do get bruises (one on my profile) which sometimes I don't know how I got them. One thing I thought of that not been said here yet is it could be having seizures in your sleep?
