Yes, I tend to say things over and over. Chew on my tongue, I also get the dizzy feeling and feelings as though I am going to vomit.I also pick at my clothes. My face jerks uncontrollably and I just feel totally out of it. Hope I helped you.

Maybe you have problems because of your medication. Tell your doctor your problems and see what he will say. I had such problems, like you have, with Topamax, but now I am taking Keppra and I am very good. My memory is much better, I am not nervous any more... I am living my normal life again. Only sometimes I have seizures, like before, but it is still much better life. I like my positivism and my beautiful life, AGAIN!Good luck!Elena

I have CPS, and i take keppra and lamictal and i have had great success with the med's, but with my seizures, i have an aura when i know that one is coming on and i will sort of black out for about 30 second to a minute, and my parents say my breathing changes, i just breath louder, and i might say something but i dont remember any of it, and if someone doesnt know i have these seizures they wouldnt even be able to tell im having them, im wide awake and everything looks  normal.  Thats the kind i have anyway
