Hi,

i was curious to ask... Since my epilepsy became active, whenever I fly... Just when the plane is about to take off or land (y'know, when they're pressurizing the cabin), I practically fall asleep. There's something about those 2 moments that makes me get all drowsy. I've often wondered if it has something to do with the meds, the condition, or what. Anyone else have this?

Hello Ryguy

How are you.
Well recently I flew a few times and I did feel a little weird at those times aswell. Prehaps it does have something to do with our meds. But it could also have something to do with cabin preasure. And the fact that adrenaline pumps through our veins cause we are constantly saying please please dont have a fit during flight. So we shutt our eyes and fall asleep.
