HI MY NAME IS TAMMY. I HAVE PARTIAL SEIZURES. I STAY DIZZY 24 HOURS A DAY. ONE DOCTOR SAYS IT IS THE SEIZURES AND ANOTHER SAYS THAT SEIZURES ARE EPISODIC AND I WOULD ONLY BE DIZZY DURING THE SEIZURE. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT 9 MONTHS NOW. I HAVE BEEN TO THE EAR DOCTOR AND THEY SAY MY EARS ARE FINE. WAS JUST WONDERING IF ANYONE ELSE HERE HAS EXPERIENCED THIS DIZZINESS AS WELL. YOUR INFO IS GREATLY APPRECIATED. HAVE A GREAT DAY. TAMMY

Do you have any additional insight? I have tried to articulate to several neurologists of this incessant spark in my head that doesnt necessarily develop into a seizure. Its there all the time but does get worse with my cycle. Meds help prevent seizures but not this intense diziness and feeling of disconnect. Its been devastating...Drs seem to have no answers.

hi tammy,i feel dizzy and uncoordinated most of the time. i think part of it is seizure related, but i also think the medication has ALOT to do with it. check out your meds and their side effects and ask your neuro about med(and med combination) side effects. sometimes your pharmasicist might even be more helpfull than the docs when it's about meds(if you have a good one). good luck-basil

WHat meds are you on? What is the dose?

It can be the meds are too high a dose. Or it is a big side effect that you have to get off of that med.
