Hi...starting a few months ago, i would get this weird taste in my mouth if i drank or ate anything and then a rush would come over my head like im going to pass out , but then it stops..I even asked my fam. doctor about it but he said it was a panic attack lol ....well, on wednesday the same thing happened, i was telling my husband that the taste was "back" and then then he said i just slid down on the ground thightend up and clenched hands inward and i was biting hard on my tongue hmmm this time i ended up having a seizure......the first seizure in my life...I am 46 ..my husband was franic (so he told me) and the ambulance came and got me...i even ended up in icu the first night ...they did MRI and EEG tests on me but all came back ok.....the neurologist came to see me and he talked about a gran mal seizure induced by meds......most of the time i was still tooo groggy to remember everything
I am in the middle of preparations to have weight loss surgery (vsg) on the 26th of july and a blood test last month had found that i had H pylori virus (virus of the stomach lining) and they put me on helidach therapy- 4 pills (2 pebto and 2 antibiotic) 4 times a day and it was found out that these pills contained flagyl ? that caused my seizure........no more flagyl for me lol.....(what is flagyl ??)
anyways this is some scary stuff........i am on topiramate but that keeps me too drugged up (50mg)....im still dizzy most of the time.....will i now always have seizures? will i now always have to take pills? this is all very new to me, heck i don't know what i should be asking....thanks for reading.. i have not taken the pill today.....have a hard time gathering my thoughts....Do the doctors report that u are not to drive for 6 months? something about state law in texas, no driving for 6 months........geez.
