I have a diagnosis of Simple Partial seizures from a neurologist, but an epileptologist said it wasn't definitive based on what I described and all my EEGs, MRI, etc. If I have had these Simple Partial Seizures they were sensory or psychic. Not motor or autonomic. It was actually rare that anyone even saw these "experiences". Some of the "experiences" I had could have been seizure activity or mania symptoms.

I have taken a very large dose of Tegretol XR for about 6/7 years now. I also take a small dose of Lamictal. Both are antiseizure medications, as well as bipolar moodstabilizers. Since I reached a therapeutic dose of Tegretol XR (1400 mg for me) these so-called "experiences" ended. I actually now doubt that I ever had Simple Partial Seizures, but I'll never know for sure.

You describe your seizures as psycho-genic. Can you describe in more detail? When people think of seizures, they usually only think of convulsions.

I have bipolar type 1. Probably since age 14. I did not have the "experiences" I mention that led to suspicion of seizures until I was 38.
