Cluster seizures
Thu, 12/10/2015 - 16:02Hi I'm a 33 year old male, have had epilepsy since I was 18 (or was diagnosed then). On average I have 10 to 30 seizures per month. They've tried carbamazepine, Topomax and now a mix of Dilantin and Keppra. I've noticed since starting the new medicines I tend to have very shaky hands. I'm not even sure if these new medicines will help as the others never did. Anyone else have a lot of seizures like this? I get them in rounds. Within 24-48 hours I'll have 10 to 30 and then I won't have any more for a month. I also have psychosis with these. I tried to burn my house down once, I've attacked my wife and others. No memory of any of it. Any help is appreciated.
