I recently had an ambulatory EEG. The doctor told me that my seizures were Psychogenic Non-Epileptic Seizures (stress-induced). I asked for a copy of the report because I did not feel that it was an accurate diagnosis. Anyways, here is what the report says:

"Midway through the recording, artifact was noted at P3. This was followed within a few minutes by generalized throughout the entire recording, which lasted for the next four hours. The recording improved, but there was still significant artifact at P3 and at O2."

Hey everyone,

I am part of a study at Columbia University which hopes to build upon the collected wisdom of people living with epilepsy to inform research about how people take control of their health. Our goal is to provide an opportunity for people with epilepsy to benefit one another through research by sharing their experiences.

As you all are aware I was recently put on lamotrogine from Dilantin and was having terrible insomnia - sometimes not sleeping until 4 a.m. if at all.

Hi All,

Our 4 year old had his first tonic-clonic seizure in November. From my standpoint the world stopped, it was horrible. I know that's a little dramatic but I was totally unprepared. I recognized that it was a seizure right away, I just didn't expect him not to breathe during this. I was so scared and felt totally helpless...even as I was screaming at the 911 operator. We did get answers rather quickly with the EEG results a few days later, showing "epileptic activity" and the referral to a pediatric neurologist out of state (we live in a rather rural area).

I'm sure you guys get a lot of posts like "do i have epilepsy" etc. So please
bear with me..I'm confused, have no diagnosis, no answers and no ideas. I am
being sent for an EEG Feb 21st...but from what i have been reading, that may not
even give me any kind of answers. I'm going to take you thru my experience, and
please feel free to add any thoughts or opinions.

Hello to all,

Just need a little information on Gray Matter Heterotopia...any information would greatly be appreciated.
Thank you,

Hi,

I am wondering if anyone taking lamictal or its generic is experiencing problems with tooth enamel.  My son has been taking lamictal for three years, the dentist recommended pro-namel toothpaste and pro-namel mouth wash to rebuild his enamel; however it does not appear to be helping.  The enamel problems were thought to be cause by the large amount of fruit he eats, but I am wondering if it is the medicine.

 Thanks so much for any insight you may have.

I will be in the middle of a conversation and totally forget what we are talking about, or what i was saying or what the other person said. It also happens when I watch tv. i just space out for a while i guess and miss portions of the show or movie. luckily i can rewind it. this happens at work,|I'll be doing some important paperwork then all of a sudden forget what i was doing and cant finish the form. it interferes with my life, i also "space out" quite frequently.... I do have grand mal (tonic/clonic) and complex partial seizures.
