i've suffered from tonic-clonic seizures and am also dxed bp 1- and my EEG was negative. have you been monitored for 24 hours (in the hospital)? my neurologist suggested this but i don't do well in hospitals and refused. fortunately the medication for bp and epilepsy are the same (AEDs)- lamictal is often used in both disorders. i truly think there is a connection between bp, panic and epilepsy disorders- and my shrink agrees. the key for bp is discreet affective episodes with hypomania or mania present. what does your pdoc think?
take care, judy
