Hi Hopeful,

I can relate to what you're enduring. I'm not a doctor, however I have symptoms like yours and am being evaluated for migralepsy. It is difficult to diagnose because by the time most get an EEG the seizure is over. There is information to be found on the epilepsy website. If you can get to an neuro epilepsy specialist most are trained to make a diagnosis by listening carefully to how the patient describes the symptoms. You've done a great job explaining your sx on your post, perhaps you cut and paste it and take it to the doc. Sometimes, I understand it may be a matter of adjusting your anti-convulsant, who knows. My GP had me raise my Lamictal until I see a specialist next week. Typically, dosages for seizure meds are much much higher than for psyche illnesses. I have probably enough information to be dangerous. Feel free to take it for what it's worth. Migralepsy, if that is what you have, is very treatable and once you get the right meds, you should be fine with school.
