Your thoughts on my recent symptoms, scary.

I was diagnosed back in August and was prescribed Zonisamide for my Complex Partial Seizures for I was getting seizures after physical stress.

Two days ago I started getting odd sensitivity to light like light streaks? like when you look into the sun and that dot still says in your eyesight. But this happens with every bright light to me. I also feel like my mind is wired but I can fall asleep as if I'm physically tired.

Today I believe I had the weirdest episode of them all, I started to feel weird and started to get the seizure like feeling then I cried uncontrollably for a couple of minutes and after this I had a drunk like feeling for awhile. Then I have been shaky and out of it for awhile.

What could this possibly be?

Some seizures cause strong emotions, so it could be a seizure. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_partial_seizure

Not sure about the light impressions. I get impressions from bright lights as well, but not from low or moderate light. Are you getting it from staring at the light and then looking away, or is it there regardless of whether you stared? Could it be a side effect from the meds? My eyes get wiggy and fuzzy from the meds. I used to take Zonisamide, but I haven't taken it in many years. The only side effects I remember was basically feeling like I had a UTI all the time.

I feel like I need to wear black sunglasses for me to be safe from the light. It's getting progressively worse everyday
