Seizures in restroom

Wed, 01/04/2017 - 23:56
Hi, I am a mom. My teenage son has had quite a few(4 clonic tonic seizures in the past month) in the restroom( when he is going #2). Has anybody experienced this? We see is neurologist soon. He is on Vimpat and lamictal and we just raised his meds. Not sure if it has something to do with vagus nerve? any thoughts?

Just a thought from a dad with sons, does your son take his cell phone into the restroom with him?
