My epileptologist have me an emergency back up . I keep it on my keychain. Lorazepam. If I feel the Aura try to eat it right away. Or it sometimes helps to stop it when someone puts one in my mouth, under toung when starting. I will be flying a 6 hour flight without my caregiver. I will be with my 20 year old son. He has not seen how to do that or a close up view of a seizure. He has lived with his mom for 15 years. That was when my seizures got much more frequent and intense. My girlfriend is my live-in care giver. Thank God!! I often have the seizing stay at around 4 am. I fall out of bed or crawl out. She gets the EMERGENCY -emergency treatment is gel diazapam. The single dose is in the disposable, plastic syringe. No needle, just a large plastic thing you might think, it's for medicine for down a dog's throat. And it says on tube ( apply rectally) BUT HE said, and this works well, she puts it between cheek and gum. Under toung etc. That will stop a seizure. It's only that there is a high street value. My girlfriend is trained and qualified to use it on me seizing. I don't remember any of this of course, but wake up later (one or more hours later)
So, technically it's illegal to carry that stuff without legal qualification of some sort. Yeah and to some degree that applies to lorazepam too. But for that I keep a pill in a capsule on the key chain. But that is just one, maybe I'll put two in there. It's only a 1mg. The prescription says, for use as needed. As a backup helper that has helped but rarely if ever use it. Usually the seizure is too late before I get the pill out. But, never sure if it will help. My seizures vary widely. Sometimes they are unconscious shaking on the floor. Other times I manage to get up and wobble, falling over, to get out of where I am. (Always 'burning up' inside. ) For a while it's only been in my sleep. I really hope it stays that way.
The doc said, "if you want to, take one when your on your way into the airport. And my psychiatrist said to use the disability service they have for disabled. To get a wheelchair ride to the gate.
