hi there everyone just joined up,i was
wondering if anyone could give me some
advice.During last 18months I have been
experiencing strange symptoms at night and
am wondering if they could be seizures.The
majority have happened just as I was about
to drop off to sleep when all of a sudden
my brain feels as though it gets scrambled
all over the place for 2 or 3 seconds then
it immediately stops although I feel
really shaken(i am totally aware of what
has happened).Also had quite a few times
when I have literally woke up like a bolt
out of the blue feeling as though
something terrible has just happened and
feeling really shaken again this always
happens within first hour of going to
sleep.Does this sound like seizures or
some other sleep related phenomonen and if
it is a nocturnal seizure would a medicine
like gabapentin possibly help,any info
much appreciated,paolo.

Hey paolo, have you talked to a doc about
this? Sounds like it is time. Sleep
disorders and epilepsy sure come to mind
but you need tests to figure it out for
certain!
