And I get what you're saying about AED's being used for bipolar. My daughter takes Lamictal. However, I'm not so sure that the AED's used for bipolar are necessarily the ones that best treat simple partial seizures. So.. having a correct diagnosis would certainly be more ideal.
Well we'll see I'm getting the EEG the 16th....it's not the works but if something shows up we'll go from there. Plus at this point I think I'm for sure having active psychosis so it's not going to help me get off my AP....no past dx of seizures of any kind, a couple of others did though....

I think I'm having visuals that are indistinguishable from reality and I started having the delusion I was faking everything for a bit so it's clear there is some psychosis...
