Do this count as a epileptic seizure ?

Sat, 10/05/2013 - 10:57
Sometimes at the morning when I stretch my legs or hands they are starting to shake . I CAN control it and tell when to stop . So Does it count as a seizure ? BTW my medication drugs are half pill of rivotril at the morning and half pill of rivotrill with 1-2 whole pills of depakine (depends when I'm going to bed) before bed .

The sound like myoclonic seizures. Your medicine is working and able to stop them, however, an adjustment of meds may be needed for better control. Consult your doctor
