Mitch,
I'm not aware of TLE seizure states lasting for a few hours. . .but then, it's relationship to migraine. . .why the hell not. I do know the perceptual feeling that everything is a movie. Depersonalization doesn't quite say how literal this and similar TLE states are. But for me, anyway, they pass after a loooong few minutes, and on Neurontin, have largely disappeared.> Just an FYI, I have noticed recently that if I sit too close (within five or six feet) to the TV and watch it attentively for very long and go outside and drive around I feel all "spaced out" for a couple of hours. I just don't feel like "I'm there". It is like the whole world is just a movie I am watching that I am not part of. I just have a suspicion of TLE and family epilepsy, though.

I did used to have panic attacks, but I only had a few. these dont feel 'panicky' uncomfortable is better. this is not enduced by effexor.

My 1st love used to get these things too, kinda thought it made us soulmates!!. I was wondering if anyone knew what this is or if indeed we were soulmates!!
