question for everyone.does this happen to you

[kirsten]

i have taken lexapro which was recommended due to the doctors thinking i had non epileptic seizures. after a while on that i didn't want to get out of bed anyone and couldn't wait till i was asleep again when i did have to get up. After getting off even when getting off very slowly i had horrible withdrawls. the only med I'm on is klonipin which i believe is a mood stabiliser as well. Sadly i dont think its working anymore. had two seizures last night.

Anticonvulsants have never been enough to control my TLE mood swings (just depression and hypomania) but they have been enough to take away most of the feelings of dread and such that you mentioned earlier. Excuse me if I've forgotten if you mentioned it--bad day-but have you worked with your neurologist to try to get those issues under control?

Hm

This happens to me quite often the day after. It's an off-and-on thing. Suddenly things will be very loud, or my vision extra-sharp. Colors will be very vibrant, or I will be able to touch things in a way I have never felt them.

Last night I read that seizures that reach the occipital lobe can make you see coloured bubbles through one eye. Weird, huh?

My right eye always feels like it's "lazy"...dunno why this is...it's not really noticeable but it does feel awkward
