I have Nocturnal Seizures and was seizure free 7 years. A month ago I had my first day time seizure. With all the anxiety and lack of sleep I was to the point I was having anxiety attacks that felt almost like a seizure. My Doctor increased my Lamital from 300 to 600 Mg and put me on .5 mil of Clonazepam. I sleep great and felt great for 3 days. We started to reduce the dose and I didnt sleep for 3 days. He increased it to 1.0 mil and I slept like a baby for the last 3 nights with no seizures. Its been almost a month and we are going to start to reduce the dose again. Everything I read about Clonazepam says I will have horrible withdrawals and an increase in very severe seizures for quite sometime. Has anyone gone through something like this and did you experience increased seizures that were more severe. My anxiety is returning thinking about the unknowns of this. If I could have some feedback it would be more than helpful!
