I had my first seizure 2 years ago, and have had 15 seizures since then. The last seizure being March 20,2012. After a seizure I feel really sick with a pounding headache and extreme nausea. Then for the rest of the day I feel really tired. Days after the seizure I feel out of it and feel like I am out of my body watching myself. It's really hard to explain. Sometimes I just stop and think to myself, who am I or what am I doing? I think and feel very weird things days after I have a seizure. This last seizure I had on March 20, it took almost a week for me to feel normal again. That is the longest the seizure after effects have affected me.

Thanks for sharing. I am getting over my last experience with it. I had it last month too but it was worse this time. I feel like I'm all off on my language. Oh I feel awful and its been a week today. So hearing it can be a month helped me to relax. I still have the anxiety but it's getting better. I hope all is well with you.
