Zo,
OK I will admit finally that there *may* be some actual *seizure-like* activity going on here. I just don't feel like going through the neuro-bureaucracy..insurance companies, referrals..negative tests..meds that make me sick..bills for years..etc..etc. There have been some times as well-sure enough when I was taking Prozac that I got severe vertigo as well, almost to the point that I almost called in to work sick, but it went away after about 20 minutes or so. Prozac/Effexor were the worst culprits. Strange-I tried Wellbutrin (which is supposed to be taboo for seizure threshold) and I didn't get the smells/tastes/vertigo reactions. Thanks for the concern and info-I am seeing my GP Monday about continued thoracic wall+esophageal muscle spasms. I think I will spring the neuro referral with him instead of my pdoc. I have to get this *right* or I am going to get screwed big time I am sure of it.

> Simple partial: No change in consciousness occurs. Patients may experience weakness, numbness, and unusual smells or tastes. Twitching of the muscles or limbs, turning the head to the side, paralysis, visual changes, or vertigo may occur. When motor symptoms spread slowly from one part of the body to another, this "epileptic march" has been termed jacksonian epilepsy (first described by Hughlings Jackson).
