I know that the some current literature links seizures (myoclonic or temporal) to bipolar disorder. But I have always been sceptical of this association, first because i have not seen it described in Kraepelin except in some of the few symptomatic cases where epilepsy was the first dx, and second, because the only time i hade "myoclonic" seizure/stroke[?] was during an attempt to withdraw from clonazepam. Never before nor after in 20 some yrs. of bp dx, have i had seizures. I grant you that I have not been taken off lithium, but even in the few times of discontinuing or reducing lithium personally for at most 6 months, i did not have seizures.

So, i am sceptical as to whether i would have seizures if taken off lithium. Is it possible that beepers are given anticonvulsants and get seizures upon discontinuation of these drugs?

There are many types of seizure:
