Sorry I didn't see this the other day
This could have been the first seizure you know of. You have seizure activity on your EEG. Did they tell you what type of seizure you have. Until you see a neuroligist and hear what he has to say you only know a little. I say that because there are many types of seizures and some types people might put off to something else. Your anxiety issue may be one of them BUt I am no doctor.
Speaking from experiance I may have had many sizures before my first grande mal. I was being written up im school for day dreaming. I had some of the highest scores in class in tests quizes and pop quizes. Those day dreams were basically absence seizures or partial seizures.
You were prescribed a medication and you checked the side effects which is good. Few people will get the side effects. A good question to ask is do you check the side effects of your over the counter medications? They too have side effects. If you are taking other medications for another issue what ever it is have your doctor make sure the medications are compatiable with each other.
I hope your hip gets better fast and they get the information needed to get you seizure sree

Hi there. I know this is ll new and scary. Hang in there. Some people experience side effects, others don't . Side effects tend to taper off after a little while. Hope you feel better soon.
