so i had a seizure the other day while i was on the treadmill. i had just started seraquel (30 mg i think) and i was also on prozac (80 mg). when i had the other seizures, i was on wellbutrin. and that med had a warning on it that said that people with EDs shouldn't take it because it can cause seizures. of course, they ended up doing that to me. but then i never would have thought about my current meds doing that to me.
i could feel it coming on too. i was running on the machine at 5.5 mph, and i could feel the aura coming on. but i thought that i had enough time to slowly turn down the speed and then get off (also because i thought it was just a bad panic attack). the next thing i knew i was on the floor looking up at a bunch of paramedics feeling so exhausted, i thought i was paralyzed. so i went to the hospital and all that. they did an ekg and blood tests, and nothing was wrong.
so now i am off all my meds (which i was told to do by my psychiatrist) and everything is just weird. nothing feels real. so that makes me kind of scared. because i feel like there is more of a chance to do behaviors and things i guess. i don't want to do them. and i will fight them. but it's just so strange. nothing seems true and real. i feel like i'm in an imaginary world. nothing feels right. hopefully it will go away soon. in the mean time though, i feel like there is no motivation to do anything or to go to classes because nothing seems like it has any value, benefits or consequences...i'm just really scared right now to be honest...

I am sorry to hear that you went through that. That had to be very scary. I hope you can find a med soon that will work for you. I am here for you if you need to talk!

With all your meds being discontinued, I can see why you are probably going through withdrawal. Don't care what they say, it takes some adjustment when meds are discontinued. I would give it a week or two to feel anywhere close to normal. xo Judy

sorry to hear this , will be praying for you on your behalf for the right meds to come alone...i agree with tipperspal, getting on different meds will take time to get into your system....and if one doesnt work, if would be a good idea to try another one....no need to feel strange....just getting off of the meds is making you feel that way, it will pass....those auras, i can associate with you on that....when i have one...i think i should sit down, but before i really do decide to...i will have a seizure....hopefully the vns will help to control the auras more...tell me...are you seeing a therapist ? may help...just a thought.....talk to your neurologist.....there are a lot of meds out there that really work...i know for a fact, god will see that you will get the right medicines to control your seizures....give it time and be patience.....god will show you how much he loves you as long as you keep your faith in him and you say to yourself, yes, god will get my seizures under control...and he will.... : ) praying for you always, here for you always.....sending gods love...love ya..hxhx
