> Yes, clonazepam seems to be working for now. But who knows if I wasn't taking it, I may not be having any seizures right now anyway. I'll just have to wait and see, if I do have a "strange" feeling, maybe I'll have to go on something else.

> I used to have the strangest feelings at night when laying in bed. I would having racing thoughts, thats the only way I can describe it. I would feel like my brain was flying around( I know that sounds kind of silly), but it can be hard explaining TLE symptoms. I would have seriouse size distortion. I felt I would be laying there, and my body was shrinking. My surroundings felt much bigger around me, than they truely were.

> It is such a strange seizure disorder. I don't have schizophrenia, but I can almost understand it!!! There have been many people who were diagnosed with schizophrenia, and actually had TLE. I suppose one could have both. I never tried many street drugs like LSD, but with the hallucinations I was having, and sometimes still have, I never needed to. :-)

> JodieI've had the "scaley" thing happen too. The last time was when I tried lithium again a year or two ago. Everything seemed smaller. My car seemed like a 3/4 scale car and I also had been shrunk down. Like getting a new eyeglass prescription. I've had time scale distortions too. When I take any Wellbutrin it seems like time just slows to a crawl and nearly stops. I thought it was an anti-ADD effect but now I am not so sure. The weirdest scale things happened when I was 11 or 12 when the "flying-daydream" thing was the most intense. This time it seemed like everything was unusally immense. I could be sitting in a chair and it seemed like the other side of the room was a 100 foot away and everything was enormous. It would just be a "weirdness" that lasted for a short time and then go away. Just a question for either of you: Do you get any musical intrusions, or anything auditory that is weird?
