!
I've just joined. I'm on Lamotrigine and have been grand-mal seizure-free for over 20 years. I've not really looked into auras as I didn't know what they were, but (don't ask me why - it's a quiet day at work!) I've just taken some time to have a look and I'm convinced I get them and I want to find out more!
These generally tend to happen when I'm not really doing anything special, although a couple of times lately, it's happened as I've been working (don't worry - I don't operate a chainsaw for a living!!)
The whole thing sounds ridiculous to me and I'm ready for being called a loonytune! <here goes...>
For whatever reason, I'll deduce that something somewhere is wrong - maybe there's a song on the radio and I would be convinced that the words being sung were wrong. That then starts an argument 'in my head' - with my 'reading' voice (please tell me that everyone HAS one of those, right?!) I might imply 'those words are wrong', and with that will come an involuntary reply along the lines of 'are you sure?'. This then ensues. Along with that will then come a sensation like mild electric shocks (it starts 'down below' and then sort of spreads outwards). My eyes then lock focus and everything appears to be 2D, which in itself is pretty mindblowing - more-so when accompanied by my hearing going into complete meltdown - some sounds get louder, others are muffled.
This passes after about a minute or so but I have to be alert enough to 'pull' myself out of it. The 'voice' in my head adopts are more 'right, you've had enough now - get a grip' approach, and more often than not I physically talk myself out of it. I've always managed to stop it, and am completely in control of it, but as it's actually a 'nice' feeling, I pretty much take it to its limits before I figure (whether it's correct or not, I don't know) that it might take effect as something more serious.
I'm really keen to know if anyone can get close to this with regard to their experiences. Since reading up on this today, it's fascinated me greatly...
