[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 154379, member: 1498"] I'm going to agree with gvcmom about just about everything. I think the spots are seizures, I think the "almost" seeing them comment indicates he has an aura, but I think that the 5 hour delay [I]could[/I] have allowed for a seizure. Both my uncle and I had seizures within hours of abruptly stopping (in his case) or missing (in my case) our seizure medication. It can be a reaction to not having the medication. My uncle never stopped taking his very low dose of Dilantin again. I, on the other hand, stopped taking an anticonvulsant after a very controlled discontinuation schedule. My son took clonazepam (Klonopin) for a while for anxiety. Though it helped at first, it quickly stopped doing any good and eventually made things worse. We discovered how bad it was making things when he attempted to calm down on day when he was extremely agitated by taking a higher dose - a PRN* dose, if you will. Though the higher dose was well within the normal dosing range, he didn't sleep for 36 hours after taking it. When he awoke after finally getting to sleep, he threw his Klonopin and Celexa away, refusing to take anything but Lamictal from that point on. That was the point at which he started to get better. While I'm editing, I want to add one more thing.....EEGs don't pick up all seizure activity, especially if the activity is centered in the temporal lobe. I have repeatedly seen the estimate that only 50% of temporal lobe seizures are detected with EEGs. EEG can rule in but really can't reliably rule out seizure activity. As I have said many time before, I, my son and a good friend of mine all have/have had temporal lobe seizures. None of us ever had what was considered to be a positive EEG. *I originally posted this as "NPR" rather than "PRN". LOL I don't know if it was dyslexia or listening to way to much radio. [/QUOTE]
