I've been experiencing deja vu very frequently lately for the past few months. Something will happen, and I don't experience deja vu immediately, it's almost delayed a bit. A few minutes later the feeling will hit me and I feel like whatever just happened to me a few minutes ago has happened to me already another time. At the same time, I'll be aware that it feels unusual but unsure whether whatever I'm experiencing the deja vu about has happened before or not. I recognize it as deja vu, so I don't believe it can be any kind of psychotic symptoms. This happens almost daily, sometimes multiple times a day. I know this can be a sign of seizures so I'm going to mention it to my pdoc next time I see her, but it also may have co-incided with starting a new med. All research I've done doesn't turn up deja-vu as a side effect of this med at all, so I'm not sure what it could be.
I had an MRI done for any brain abnormalities and also an EEG to check for seizure activity in 2010 when I began seeing my pdoc, and everything came up clean. Has anyone else ever experienced deja vu this frequently?

No, but I do have powerful gut reactions, always have. That are spot on 9 out 10 times. I have learned to listen to them more and more. The times I didnt was horrible.

I had it so strongly and lasting so long one time I went to the doctors. It happened twice to me like this and left me very confused afterwards. They were going to test for Temporal Lobe Epilepsy. They told me to go back and see them and take a witness with me. It never happened again!

It could be minor seizures, I have had many déjà vu moments in my life, but none at all lately. Maybe since I am on (lamotrigine) an anti-seizure medication? Don't know.

They're a pretty strong feeling but they only last a couple of seconds. I'm not confused or disoriented afterwards. It only really started when I started on my most recent med. Maybe it IS that.

You know, it is a STRANGE coincidence that I saw your thread, because just this morning I was thinking about how this is happening to me all the time now!
I haven't changed anything recently, though, besides drinking coffee kind of late at night. So I don't know what could be causing it. It's so strange. (I'm not bipolar, either, but I felt compelled to post.) |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
