That's the first time I've heard someone identify that as a trigger. I'm glad you were able to figure it out. Please consider adding a note about it in the triggers thread.
Wanted to say hi...I'm new to this site...

Hi WhyMe, and thanks for the friend request on facebook. I don't know you, but you have already become a part of this well structured family.
It is nice to find triggers, and if possible, to avoid them. I find that since taking my meds, it has pointed out alot more triggers than I thought, and has amplified a few that I knew (I used to get massive headaches from things like flourescent lights, strobe lights, certain songs/music and stress) now these things lead to seizures since my first grand mal and the meds.
I am currently taking 150mg of Lamictal twice a day. I just upped it on Saturday or Sunday. Can't remember. so that 300mg total. and i'm not sure if its working or not. I had some great seizure control at a lower dose that held back some of the smaller seizures (simple partials and complex partials) but still let the tonic clonics (aka grand mals) rear their ugly heads anytime they saw fit. Now at the higher dose it seems like I get simple partials and complex partials ALOT and they generalize alot less.
If you need anything or have any questions, just feel free to send me a msg, either on here or Facebook. Either or. I can get my FB msgs to my phone, so I can answer those right away.
