Seizures on Awakening
Tue, 07/24/2007 - 08:33Anybody just have seizures in the mornings. The only Tonic Clonics I have had are always within 1 hour of waking up, mostly after a night out as I do like a little drink now and again. What medication is the best - I am on 300 mg of Lamictal. Anyone got any experience with this.

I take Keppra and Lamictal and I still have the complex partials that then turn into the tonic clonic. They are semi controlled in the past it has been much worse. So I am thankful for the control I have now. I am also considering surgery at this point. Good luck and I am glad you have some results.

Samantha Hi thanks for replying. I am sad to hear you still having 2 seizures at least a week. What kind of seizures are you having - still the tonic-clonic? If so, can´t they control them at all with meds. What meds are you on!
