How weird is this???!!! I had no idea there was a connection ....I had a one off Gran Mal seizure about 7 months ago. Have had visual and actual migraine for years now and was told there could be a connection with the seizure. Had a bad attack of vertigo beforw the seizure (couple of months). Could not get out of bed-just fell down or threw up!.
How did you find out there was a connection?
Regards

I didn't know this either. I had vertigo so bad the other day I had to stay in bed almost all day.
I use to get vertigo all the time. Any movement at all would trigger me. I learned balancing exercises and had much better control over it.
Thanks for sharing,

I looked up vertigo to see if that's what the 'spinning room' thing was that was always happening to me was and I was reading and reading up on it to see what the causes of it can be and epilepsy is one of them. I read it on Wikipedia if you want to look it up. I don't get all the nausea and such that can be associated with it, but it might explain the pains I get in my head every once in awhile also that may be migraines. When my head does start spinning it'll just do it out of nowhere. I can be sitting and it'll happen. My last one it was my worst; so bad that I thought I was falling.

I had vertigo a while back. I noticed that it would come about 30min after I took my meds. I think that my KEPPRA dose was too high. It could also be related to your Blood level of Dilantin in your system. This can cause vertigo if it goes toxic.

Well I haven't been on Dilantin for YEARS and keppra never since it never worked for me when it started. I take Topamax and it's a 100mg. 50 in the morning and 50 at night. I've had blood work recently done and they said nothing wrong. It doesn't always happen and it's not in a pattern. It just happens whenever and it's very spaced out.

i get vertigo when on the escalators that go down. also in glass elevators occaisionally.
