Hi, I am 26 year old, It all started around 9 months back when i had first seizure. I went to a neurologists, he performed EEG and MRI and told me that i have epilepsy then i started taking Anti Epileptic Drugs. My seizure became worse after that and i used to have it 2-5 for about 1 to 5 minutes time a day and some day there is no seizure. From last two months i have seizure where my eyes are closed, Jaws also closed and seizure continues for 10 to 30 minutes or untill someone wake me up. I also no able to open my jaws easily it take few minute and my eyes are then remain close for 1 to 2 hours. Now from last month seizure occurs only when i am asleep (during first 10 minutes of the sleep) and last for 30 10 to 30 minutes during tha my body shake. I had EEG again and this time i had seizure during EEG but there was no abnormal brain activity during EEG. Now doctor prescribed medicine for both Epliptic and non epileptic seizure.
