Does anyone have burning or tingling feeling in their fingers, hands and on up? I'm new to this and I don't know if its my medicine or something else. It's really scary!

Is it really a seizure? I had a tingling in my hands and legs at night and it almost reminds me of the anxiety or even the feeling of your foot coming out of the state of falling asleep. My Neurologist put me on an anti depressant in addition to my AEDs and it went away. This was about a year ago and I was on a study medication at that time.

i have tingling in my feet and all along the right side of my body that is constant.... i don't believe it is a seizure because it is constant... my neurologist doesn't think it is a seizure, either.... i think it is a side effect from my meds... i am on keppra and xanax for anxiety... also, i think you should be talking to your neurologist about these side effects... i am doing that with mine... if your neurologist helped you with a shift in meds, then it went away, it is for sure a side effect of the meds...
