Anti Psychotic Drugs
My therapist wants to put me on anti psychotic medication but i feel it's too drastic how can I make him understand my epilepsy plays a big part in my mental health state I feel like I'm being passed around and nobody really knows what to do with me :(
You need to have your neurologist to talk to your therapist. They can discuss what is or isn't safe to take with your seizure meds.
After A Seizure
Does anyone else freak out after having a seizure? Like I cry and freak out because I don't know what happened. I've always done this. After a while of crying I calm down and ask what happened.

Sometimes I don't even realize that I had a seizure. I just think I've been watching TV all along and My Husband would tell Me I had one and begin to argue then see My glasses sitting on the… read more
Seizure Alert Dogs
Has anyone thought about getting a seizure alert dog? Here lately I have had my seizures frequently so I can't drive but I have almost had a couple seizures in the store so I am getting kind of nervous about what to do if that happens...it's making me just want to stay home away from people so my husband suggested a service dog that might help me get my independence and confidence back....thoughts?
Thanks Jeff. I am kind of in your shoes. I have had photosensitivity epilepsy for 22 years. All of that time I have been able to work and live fairly independant with a seizure here and there. But… read more
Does Anybody Else Have Trouble With Memory?
Ever since I had my first grand mal seizure, I have had trouble with short and long term memory. It drives me crazy sometimes because half of the time it has to do with my son or family. Now I have to write a lot down to help remember something. It really does suck.
Yes. It is not too bad I think. I try to keep notes that are visible.
Do You Wear Diapers?
If you had frequent grand mal seizures would you wear diapers when out in public?
I also wear nappies and i am not ashamed to admit it they help me in always
Has Anyone Tried Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Or Mindfulness Techniques To Control Their Anxiety And Therefore Their Seizures?
My doc has insisted I sign up for CBT to try and manage my anxiety but I think anxiety because of epilepsy is different and I'm not sure these techniques work for us. Anyone have experience with this as a alternative to anxiety meds?
Yes I went to group therapy everyday I did crafts we went on walks and outings together I also do meditation with my friends and yoga
Is An Deja Vu An Aura??
I've had four of them today
I also get deja vu- happened yesterday- but did not have a seizure. It's interesting to know that others also have an aura that is deja vu.
Swimming
Has anyone else with partial seizure's been swimming or is frightened to go even if it's with someone else who can swim?
It is funny that seizure activity can decrease with physical activity, but can be so dangerous. I actually had on shoveling the snow yesterday.
Am I The Only One Who Cannot Find Someone Special?
In my entire life, I have had three serious relationships: My first girlfriend in elementary school, the woman I should have married but was too stupid to see it, and my failed marriage of three-and-a-half-years. I know someone is going to tell me there is someone out there for me. Well, that person is a freaking liar. I have a condition no one understands. My brain is aging faster than my body. If there is someone for me, she had better hurry because I do not know how long I am going to be… read more
