[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 154353, member: 3444"] Sounds like a seizure to me, complete with aura ("my head feels funny right before..."). I seriously doubt a 5-hour delay would cause a drug withdrawal reaction. I'd call the neuro in the morning and let him know what's going on. He should be able to advise you whether or not it would be o.k. to do the EEG on the Clonazepam. The weakness is also concerning and to me indicates seizure. And if this appears to be a worsening of symptoms from how they first began, all the more reason to jump on it before he has an escalation. Not trying to scare you, but we were told by husband's neuro that once seizures begin occurring, left untreated they can progress to become more involved events over time with the possibility of permanent damage. My understanding of medications that control seizures is that you will still see spikes on an EEG, it's just that the medications stop the seizure from manifesting further. For example, my husband has to go for an EEG and MRI this month for his 3-month post-op checkup and if they don't see spikes, they said he could come off his seizure medications. As for Clonazepam itself, no specific experience there, but difficult child 1 used to take Lorazepam (Ativan) to get him through blood draws because of his needle phobia. So we only used it situationally for that, but psychiatrist did put him on a daily regimine of Lexapro. After a few months on Lexapro, difficult child chose to cut out using the Ativan for blood draws entirely, and gets through it on his own coping skills (still bothers him to get poked, but he doesn't like the way the Ativan makes him feel). Hope that helps! Call the neuro! [/QUOTE]
