Hey, thanks for responding :-)
I enjoyed reading the info you shared.
I know you first thought you were responding to Dinah.
I described a little bit of my experiences above, i. e.
Intense deja vu, stuck staring, episodes of being unable to respond, move, speak coherently, other stuff.
Does that sound like temporal line stuff for me too?
I take 200mgs of lamictal for past couple of years.
Haven't had much more than the deja vu in a long time.
The thing is that I've always wondered what effects, if any, might linger from birth.
I don't know much other than that a nurse noticed seizures after my birth, and that my mother was bleeding, there was a placental abruption, and an emergency c-section. At 9 months I was judged healthy and taken off phenobarbital. I remember intense deja vu as early as 1st grade. It didn't evolve into the being stuck with problems speaking until my early 20's. and those episodes occurred within a certain time period, maybe a year? and since then it's just the occasional deja vu. I'm in my mid 30's.
I remember sometimes feeling them come on, and them not evolving into anything. Once, after decreasing a benzo, I got deja vu, and also a tingling sensation down my leg.You know solstice, I think more than anything I like to imagine I have some more concrete reason for the way I am. I mean super anxious and socially phobic.
The weird experiences are pretty much just interesting. If I continued to have the kind I had in my early 20's then I'd have it evaluated. I am curious about how lamictal withdrawal might go for me.
