I was diagnosed with frontal lobe partial seizures and on oxcarbaepine and clonazepam. I've noticed that I'm having different symptoms and if others have had them and what they might be called.

Instead of having the actual seizure where I turn to my left and body clench up, I'll get this weird tunnel vision/spacey feeling where I feel like I might fall or how it feels when I'm going to go into the actual seizure but don't. Sometimes I'll also get this twitchy feeling in my head like when your eye twitches, you kind of feel it in your head too. And sometimes my jaw will twitch and/or my left hand.

I don't know if this is the meds working since it's not an actual turning seizure, or if it's the meds not working right.
 
The tunnel vision thing and twitches could be simple partial seizures.
