Phantom smells
Tue, 08/15/2006 - 17:33Hi all
I was just wondering for those of you who have phantom smells as part of your seizures how long the smell lasted for. Sometimes the smells I get can last a minutes but over the weekend the smells were very short (if that makes sence). I had lots of them then yesterday I had a 40 min simple partial (horrible and scary as I have never had one that long, usually they are 5 mins max). I was wondering if this was normal to have phantom smells that did not last that long (few secs).
thanks

That's interesting about Topamx. I am no longer on it and I do seem to have a lot less phantom smells. A LOT LESS!!! I wonder what is up with that? I wonder if Topamax was making mu seizures worse. Can someone that does not have seizures get them from Topamax or some other AED?
