I also have TLE but I think some of that depends on the root cause. I played several sports from the time I could walk to now (I'm 23 now) and have suffered at least 5 concussions that I can recall immediately. I already have hearing issues due to damage done to the part of my brain that interprets speech. And it was brought up in my last appt with my neurologist that my TLE could very possibly have been brought on by continuous brain damage over the years of sports injuries.

In my case, I don't see any correlation between my TLE and any kind of schizo- or psycho- disorder. However, genetics that control brain disorders could very well be related.

My neighbor has schizophrenia and psychosis. He is on about a dozen different medications. But then he goes an smokes pot. I think he is an exception because I don't understand why you would smoke a drug considered a mild hallucinogen when you already have psychotic episodes?

Also, my TLE was described as "abnormal" by my neurologist. I don't lose consciousness. I get very lightheaded and feel deja vu sometimes but that's where the similarities stop. I then lose my vision, everything goes black, and I feel like I'm about to fall over. After my EEG it turns out that being tired is my 'trigger'. The test with the strobe lights and the breathing did nothing but when I fell asleep on the hospital bed my EEG went nuts I guess.

The thing to remember is that everyone is an individual. It's pretty difficult to make generalizations, especially about neurological disorders, because everyone experiences them differently. Not only that, but how I might describe an experience could be very different than how you describe it. So just the simple act of portraying your symptoms that can vary.

Since I was upped on my meds I haven't had any seizures, which has been about 2 months now
