I work as a project manager and some projects can be intense. I just finished a horrible project and in the 6 months I pushed myself to find my limits. I was working over 60 hours a week and it took almost 3 months before I broke. Started having a high amount of deja vu's and then had a day where I was walking down a hallway and just could not think or walk correctly so I stopped and leaned against a wall, thankfully nobody was around.
I saw my neuro and he said enough was enough, so I dialed the hours down and started taking lunch again. I got better and the project ended. but now I have had to take days off because of bad E days. So pretty much I found a limit and broke myself and in no way did I expect this to continue months after I quit pushing the limits.

Anyone else break themselves before??
 
I stopped taking my medicine when I was 21. When the seizures came back, they couldn't be controlled the same way. Doubled my Keppra and added Vimpat, and cranked that up until it worked.

I'm pretty sure I should have gotten a better warranty. :D

Anyway, it may be time for you and the doc to work on the meds.
 
Gimme a break...Gimme a break...break me off a piece of that...
