My son has rage aggressive episodes which are mesial temporal lobe epilepsy. They are difficult to treat with meds alone. Depakote, risperadol and inderal are the drugs we use.
My son screams and gets very violent. Then after he is remorseful and perplexed. These are seizures and psychosis can follow a seizure.

I was diagonsed with epilepsy in 1994 and never noticed any problems with anger/rage until now. I have family members that say I have been very hateful with them in the last couple of months. I do not mean to and when they tell me this I get annoyed with myself. Does anyone out there have any advise/suggestions on what I could do to control this? I don't want to get out of control and I am afraid of hurting my baby neices or other family members. Please if someone out there is or has went through this PLEASE give me some suggestions.
