I talked to my brother and he also mentioned stress as being a trigger in seizures. I am currently on Lexapro, 10 mg, which is the lowest dosage. I don't want to go on any higher dosage or more anti-depressants to slow down the stress because I have tried and they make me feel like a zombie.

It really is just a relief to put a name with the symptoms. For almost a decade I have been bouncing from doc to doc trying to get answers without getting any. I just have to wait for the call from the neurologist and have already talked to my mom and she said don't worry about the cost, do whatever test they want. I know she is struggling with money since retirement so hopefully it wont be too much because neither of us have the money for a ton of tests. We have insurance but there is still as copay every visit which can get pretty expensive.

I'll keep you posted as to what they say. Thanks again. You're always so helpful
