Hi all, I am 21 years old and had my first Seizure when I was 15/16 years old. I had my second one because I was naive/stupid enough to think I would never have one ever again and completely stopped my medication (TOPAMAX) and had one about 4 months later.
Since then I have been taking Topamax 100mg x2 daily and haven't had any seizures since then. However, I have developed some horrible muscle spasms through out my body and some horrible head pain and pressure. I have seen my neurologist for it, he doesn't believe it is seizure related.
We have ran an EMG, MRI, 4 EEG tests 2 of which came back normal and 2 I am waiting for the results now. All of that since I started having those horrible symptoms. As well with those symptoms I have a hard time falling asleep, I dont know what it is, but I just cant fall asleep, I think it may be anxiety as I had these twitches since August of 09 along with the horrible head pain and pressure and still do not have a diagnoses!
The Topamax lately has been making me feel a lot more dumber then usual, but it is clearly working and do not want to change because I am afraid I will get hit with another GrandMal.
Any advice?
If you are from Long Island who are your Neurologists? I see Dr.Haimovic.
