In reply to AD's simple partial seizures, posted by River1924 on April 26, 2006, at 10:54:23
In my case I was referred to a Neurologist because I had a seizure a couple of months after brain injury from getting hit by a 18-wheeler. I was given Effexor, seizures increased from 2-3 a week to 3-5 a day. While weaning off Effexor seizures increased to several an hour for nearly a month. There may be no correlation but I didn't see it any other way. At that time they were autonomic and sensory but did not generalize to grand mals. Docs thought with time this would deminish on its own and go away. I have been since stuck with them getting several a day, like I learned how to do it, now sensory, motor, complex partial seizures. No way to anticipate and stop it, looked for triggers for two years before I found one: movement in a direction similar to mine, but there are others when I nor anything else moves. I'm not aware of some of them, some sensory seizures are kind of pleasant, motor seizures are more annoying and embarrasing, complex partials are exhausting.
AD med didn't cause my seizures but taught my brain how to get them more.
