I'm just wondering if anyone has experienced with Clobazam reduction or
withdrawal. I saw my neuro yesterday and he recommended against reducing the
Tegretol (which I was hoping to do) but said I could go from 10 mg to 5 mg
of Clobazam (I've only been on it for 6 weeks). I did so ...

I am scheduled to have carotid and transcranial doppler tests done next
week at the Veterans hospital due to my seizures. Can anyone tell me
what they are, what to expect etc? I never had my carotid or
transcranial doppled before  :)

Does nagging privileges come along with my bracelet?
As I asked, are all or some elpeptics nags as a trait(?)?
Lately I have been arguing with my friend that I live with. To me it
seems he has been snapping at me for nothing. He says that I keep on and

Hi dj,
The recursive "I've been thinking I was just thinking that I was
thinking...." is very familiar, as is the feeling of being an observer
of my thought processes at work.  I would catch myself in the loop and

   Hi. I am new here due the fact that mother is (77 years old) has started
to have seizures within the last couple of years and after trying a couple
of different drugs (Tegretol was one) with bad side effects she has ended up
on Dilantin.

I will try to make this brief.  My husband had his 1st gran mal szr(all
nocturnal)when he was 23(lst yr married); 2nd ,25yr,when our first child
was born; 3rd, 28 yrs, sold business stiffed $$$; 4th, 34 yrs., building
house and reestablish business in new area. As you can see all ...

I take carbamazepine (Tegretol) and one of  the side effects is pain in my
knees.
I'm prepared to put up with it, but does anyone know whether it causes long
term damage to the joints. My doctors don't seem to know!

Can anyone tell me if pot has helped or hurt their seizures............
I have smoked since vietnam (1968) and wonder if now 35 years later
marijuiana could be the cause of my seizures. I read that cocaine and
other "hard" drugs can cause the seizures. I guess that one could say

hi please could you tell me how long your fits last

My husband, aged 41, has just had his first seizure, and is awaiting
further tests -an EEG and MRI. CT Scan showed nothing, bloods showed no
infection. He needs to drive for his job, and we are both absolutely
poleaxed by this event.

Hey y'all.  It has been a long while since I posted here.  I just wanted
to tell everyone I am seemingly fine at this time.  Still having simple
partials and absence seizures - though not as strong and not as often.
I haven't had a grand mal since January - YAY!  My memory is worse ...

Greetings - I had a grand mal last Saturday night while attending an AA meeting
- despite the Depakote treatment.  The other alcoholics and drug addicts
freaked out and 911 was dialed.  I came to in the hospital emergency room with
blood samples being drawn, as has happened many ...

I posted this in another thread but I thought it might also be useful for
those not following that thread.  If you're away from your internet provider
(e.g. in an internet cafe) and wish to read and post to the group, you can

I know the classic dictionary definition of dejavous: the feeling of doing
something or being somewhere before. But when describing auras, is this
what it really means? From time to time I get the feeling of familiarity,
but something is still not right about it. These usually ...
