Help, can I stil have seizures with normal EEG

I am having the same thing. My neurologist said that it is classic signs of absent seizures but didn't prescribe me anything new because he was already putting me on Topamax for my migraines. He told me that Topamax is also used to control absent seizures as well. He ordered an EEG but I was already on the Topamax during the test and it came back normal. I'm at a loss also but at least he did say that I was having the classic signs of them. I will get really foggy headed, confused, like zoning out in a daze really. Then after wards I am exhausted. Hope this helps.

I am a 19 year old female and for two months now, I've been getting these episodes that my neurologist thinks is a cross between seizures and syncope--but she isn't completely sure what they are. I lose motor function and am not able to respond or move. However, I am completely aware with what is going on around me during these episodes--I can hear everything and if my eyes don't close themselves, I can see everything. I don't get confused, I just simply can't respond. When they first started, they would only last 30 seconds to 2 minutes. But now, they last anywhere from 5 minutes to 16 minutes. My warning signs before I get them have become less noticeable and I collapse now (I've collapsed on to the floor 4 times at work now). My warning signs are extreme dizziness, a hot flash, and recently I've begun losing feeling in my toes. Every test they have done has come back normal--MRI, EEG, EKGs, CT scans, constant blood work. I even had a doctor ask me if I was making these episodes up in my head. They put me on Keppra, but it hasn't stopped the episodes and I have almost every side effect Keppra can give you. They are currently switching me to Lamactal. If this medicine doesn't help, they are going to admit me in the hospital for 3-5 days to see if they can catch an episode while I'm fully hooked up. But as of right now, the cardiologists have been a joke and my neurologist is basically taking shots in the dark. Is there anyone who has an idea with what's wrong with me? 

Hey, Jonna! I've actually been diagnosed with Psychogenic Non-Epileptic Seizures--it's actually a depression/anxiety disorder where your body absorbs your stress and turns them into seizures. They are very real seizures, but they aren't caused by abnormal firings of the brain. It is actually the most misdiagnosed condition because it can only be diagnosed by an epileptoligist who has access to an EEG-video monitor (1 in 5 people diagnosed with epilepsy actually have PNES). This also could explain why you were paralyzed--stress can do a lot to the body. It's definitely something to look into! I hope you get this figured out. I've only had this for a few months and it's taken over my life. I can only imagine what you've been through.
