Has anyone had cluster seizures withdrawl effect?

Fri, 09/12/2014 - 21:49
I had been taking Zarontin for my petit mal at 250 mg and took it for about a month. I started getting cluster seizures of my petit mal and different seizures. I got off the meds almost 3 weeks ago and I still having cluster seizures. I am having an EEG Monday and I am scared the seizures will show up on the EEG. I never had this before this medication. It says Zarontin main withdrawl effect is seizures but never specificed cluster seizures. Someone said that it can take a bit to get out of the body. I think someone said about 1/4 could be left. Will this go away? I am 18 and take Clobazam 4 pills and Lamotrigine 4 pills. Has anyone has a withdrawl effect like this?
