Epilepsy/Seizure Caused Hallucinations?
Wed, 09/10/2008 - 14:58Topic: New to Epilepsy.com
I have been reading about the different types of seizures and epilepsy and am pretty sure I have temporal lobe epilepsy (my neuro won't put a name on it yet). I just have a question. I spent a week in a neuro unit going from being just confused to almost a complete vegetable before my neuro finally ran an eeg and started me on Keppra. I have read that people hallucinate during seizures, but it also says the seizures only last 30 sec to 2 min. I was in the hospital a week, but it felt like years due to the constant hallucinating. I had a constant feeling of wanting to "make things right" or explain to someone what was wrong with me, even though I didn't know. Unfortunately, in my hallucinations, everytime I would come close to "making things right," one of my six children would die in some awful way. It was like a constant nightmare. Has anyone ever experienced anything like this? The hallucinations described here under different forms of seizures are exactly right, but they lasted way longer than 2 minutes... is that possible? I don't know what to think. I know that Keppra made them go away even though I was still confused for days later. I'm so afraid of this happening again. I'm mainly just wanting to know if anyone experienced seizures that caused long hallucinations like this. Thank you. :)

Ive had several seizures within the last 6 months. Each one my frame of time and hallucinations grt worse and last longer and longer. Its really starting to scare me as i have no recollection of what happens or have any control over what i do and say. Have you figured anything out or talked with your doctor since posting?

I never had a seizure. But one time I was smoking meth and I did not sleep that night. The next day, I smoked weed and more meth. I was with my friend in some bushes near a basketball park. I was looking at the park and I could see Micheal Jordan playing basketball and doing slam dunks. I told my friend who was right next to me about this. He said, "Do you see any hot chicks over there?" I said, "Yes, she is curved like this(gestured with my hands)/" Then she turned in to this really fat fairy. I think it was the sugar plum fairy.I started to walk home and I saw this party going on near my house. I decided to crash it. I saw people dancing, drinking, everyone having a good time. When I got closer it disappeared. There was no party.I decided to just lay down on the hammock outside. I looked up and I saw monkies all over in the tree. I looked at some tree's to my left and I saw King Kong walking towards me. I decided to go inside. I had to pick the lock because my grandma would always lock me out on purpose. This is because she is a Mexican Witch. Once I got inside, I put a frozen tamale on my head because I was burning up.
