Please Give me Advice.... Just had a seizure

I am sorry that you have experienced this. It is time to adjust your medication dosage. That cannot be done unless you tell your doctor. I understand your apprehension, but realize that your own personal safety is in jeopardy. People build tolerance to their meds over time and relapse of seizures can occur. As you know, when your seizure threshold goes down, the seizure count goes up. What have you done differenty? Drugs, alcohol, stress, partying, sickness, travel, fatigue, new exercise routine? See what your trigger was. You are Not alone. You have your parents and they need to know. My son has Jme too, you are NOT alone. This must be terrifying and as a mom of a teenage son with Jme, I urge you to open up to your parents about this. Think about how lucky you are to have been in remission for a year. Now it is time to adjust your medication, if not the chances of relapse are higher and I am sure that you don't want that experience again, especially behind the wheel. Ask mom and dad for advice, it will Be OK I promise. Best wishes!

Thank you for replying and for advising me about my son. He is 15 and doesn't drive yet, so he isn't missing anything yet. He is in drivers Ed in school now as part of his health class (he is 15) and I told him about the law about his condition. He has only had one seizure 6 months ago and one episode of the myoclonic jerks before that after an all nighter of video games. Sleep deprivation is also his trigger. I am glad that you figured out that you or got to take your pill and that in conjunction with a late nighter ( big no no! ) made this happen. I think is a good idea to tell mom about the twitches and go with that for now. Please also know that your dad is trying to protect you, not punish you. I definetely appreciate the advice about how to approach certain subjects with him about his condition. It is really helpful to hear about one one that can relate what he is going through because I don't know and I am trying to do my best. Thank you for sharing about your happy, productive life, I am sure my son will appreciate hearing that because he dreams about going to college and becoming an engineer. For now, please have some rest and set an alarm on your phone for your pills. Call home and talk about the twitches and see what is her best advice. Please know that the twitches sometimes can be the warning sign of a tc coming. I did nor know this, until caught me completely off guard that he was twitching but talking and walking and a second later blue and not breathing, so I know what you mean. Luckily most seizures are self resolving, but do please adjust your lifestyle and see about med adjustment because you do not want the seizure count o get worse or more prolonged. You are very lucky to snap back to normal, and o lucky to have a mom and a dad that will do anything to help you. May I suggest to take a cab today and stay in for the weekend? No one eres on being extra cautious. I know my on after having the tc he was back to his own self, but he was tired and a littler "spacey" for a few days afterward, so if you care to listen to someone else's mom, take a cab until you feel better. Do not drive today at the very least. Last, colleges have offices for students with disabilities (I know, I know) use them! They can help you turn in papers later while you recover if that is necessary. Also, you can pick classes before anyone else to avoid the early ones and give extra time if you ever need it. Having epilepsy is nothing to be ashamed of and you are doing a great job, your parents have also done a fine job, now please do the responsible thing, I know your parents taught you right and sometimes at 19 one may think that you know better, I should now as I was 19 ones and thought my parents were mean idiots. Best wishes! Feel better and keep the communication open. I will take the liberty to ask how are you feeling later.,
