Epilim Ec 500mg And Tegretol Cr 200mg & Being Moody Posted: 04-25-04 15:52pm
Hello everyone.
Does anyone else
snap all the time, out of the blue turn
nasty for no reason? I have been finding
myself doing this alot latley. I am
currently taking 2000mg of epilim a day
and 400 mg of tegretol and I have recently
had a few bad seizures that have lasted
over 20 minutes, and latley I have been
noticing that for split seconds I have
been lashing out with anger out bursts.
Does anyone else do this. Is this a type
of seizure or could I have some kind of
brain damage now.? I just dont feel like
me anymore. And I am getting scared and
feeling alone. Since these seizures I
have been having I have also had an upper
body jerking episode that stops as quick
as it began its like a tick I guess. I
just feel like I am getting worse then
better and the more I tell the doctors the
more they up my medication. I am going to
see the neurologist next week. I have
only been having seizures since october
2003, I am female and I am 21, and I dont
see any pattern to my seizures at all. If
anyone could help me it would be much
appreaciated.
Thankyou sami

Yes, sami I to get real moody all the
sudden. I don't believe its a seizure I
think its a side effect of the meds. If
you look up just about all the meds they
all have something about mood changes in
them.
I have posted before about not knowing if
from one minute to next if i'm going to be
yelling or crying sometimes.....
The sudden real quick jerk your having, I
get those too. Mine are over in less then
a couple seconds.
To try to figure out a pattern to your
seizures, write them down in a note book.
Thats what I did to help the doc, I tried
to time them and give him as much info as
I could remember. How I felt before,
during, and after. And if any one was
with me I had them write it down too. (
what they saw me doing)
a key factor my doc told me was when I
started to noticed the auras, like the
metal taste I get in my mouth, or when my
eyes (usually only one rapidly) blinks.
I know your new at this and it stinks
having to deal with it..... But hopefully
the doc will figure out why.
Good luck.... I'm here any time......
