I definitely have the thought of 'Fuck I seized again'. I was diagnosed out of no where in 2011 after driving half a mile unconscious having a complex partial seizure. From there I started having tonic clonic as well. I've gone into status epilepticus on multiple occasions too and recently got in a fender bender cause of one. Damn convulsions. Mine are oftentimes in my sleep and happen alot when I'm waking up. They definitely make me nauseous and hibernate for hours. The worst is the headaches and being sore for days. This shit does suck. I find myself very embarrassed since they happen in public sometimes. I will never get used to waking up staring up at a crowd of faces.

I'm epileptic as well and I was just wondering if you had a warning signal/aura back when you were having the seizures? I'm always curious if others do since I have de ja vu.

My seizures started when I was 21 and there's still no identified reason. I also have episodes that are triggered by lack of sleep and stress if I miss my meds. When I take them they are pretty much controlled. I've always been on lamictal 2/day however at one visit to the hospital they put me on keppra as well which made me feel weird. I definitely had hallucinations so that didn't last. Now I'm on oxtellar extended release and lamictal extended release. They work good for me especially since it's only one a day. It would be easy for me to take a nap late and sleep all night, thus forgetting to take my meds. These meds now work for my life and shitty memory.

At the moment I'm not. I just moved to Texas and had an episode and according to their law I've gotta be seizure free for 3 months. Can't lie and say I don't still do it sometimes. I'm from Georgia tho and their law was 6 months.
