EEG & Tegretol

hye i just wanna asking abt some medication drugs ,because i want to know the effect of them in EEG Signal ? which of them have a huge effect on EEG signal ,couse my graduation project abt classifier between normal and abnormal dataset ,so ,i want to which of them effect of signal to make it abnormal as(spike,flat) to get clearly to classifier between normal dataset and patient take this medication ! which best ? thx :) 1. carbamazepine (Tegretol) 2. valproic acid (depakine) 3. Phenytoin (epanutin) 4. oxcarbazepine (trileptal) 5. 5hydroxytryptamin(Serotonin) any help !!!

i agree that this medicine would interfere. my neurologist would as well as he wrote in my medical chart, "i think that this patient needs to have an electroencephalogram to rule out the possibility of temporal lobe seizures. if the EEG is abnormal, i think that she should also have an MRI scan. if the EEG is normal, i think that we should follow her carefully, take her off the Clonopin take her off the Clonopin because that might interfere with the expression of the illness..." of course sadly, no one ever ordered any EEG's back then because i was hospitalized for anorexia and a suicide attempt. my entering the mental health milieu ended any medical explanation for my sensory/psychic+depersonalization symptoms.

I have taken both medications and I am an EEG technician and seen my EEG's personally. The medication does not effect the record at all. I was a test patient of Tegretol and have been on it a long time. Klonopin did not change anything either. You have a good question some medications do cause changes. Phenobarb is a stinker it causes fast activity (Beta) riding on waves. The medication helps the patient but subtle changes on the EEG are harder to detect. Most sz medications do not cause much problem. I have been all of them. My EEG is abn. I have a seizure disorder. I have a spike and slow wave focus at the posterior left temporal lobe. I have had 2 surgeries. I worked at UCLA. Now I am disabled because other medical problems have gotten in the way but I help doctors that need coverage. I am on disability. You can contact me anytime w/ questions. Good luck on finding out what the cause is.
