Sounds that trigger seizures???
Sun, 03/20/2005 - 09:26Hi I am new here and recently was diagnosed with having seizures. I dont have the Grandmal seizures, but I have the partial seizures. This is an embarrassing question to ask, but does anyone here think that certain sounds can trigger a seizure? Sometimes the feeling of de javu comes on after I hear a certain word, or maybe sound. I cant ever remember what it is after words.
Also I might be watching tv, or doing nothing and suddenly a word, not even a word sometimes ( more like a made up word ) will pop into my head and it gives me the feeling that a siezure is going to happen. I know this sounds crazy, but if anyone can relate I would appreciate it greatly. Thanks, Laurie

Keppra is a bad medicine to be on for epilepsy. My kids’ father was taking this medication and it made his seizures worsen, not to mention the side effects, memory loss and dark brown lesions on arms and legs. This medication needs to be taken off the market. I would not recommend ANYONE to take this medicine for Epilepsy.
