Christina, our little girl has the same problem. Even just getting warm and
toasty in bed will bring on a SZ. Do a good portion of your SZ's happen
about / within 3-4 hours of taking meds?? I have found a lot of info by
reading on HEAT IMBALANCE SEIZURES. We switched one of G's meds to the XR
Extended Release Lamictal from regular recently. It seems to also have
helped some with the overheating issue at night. So many variables and
everybody is different but thought I'd share how this affects our child.
Come to think of it I don't recall seeing her sweat but hard to say with a 7
yr old. Pat D. Gianna's Dad

Subject: [epilepsy] getting hot and seizures
When I get hot I have seizures.
I can not sweat and I think this
is from either the TBI or SCI or
could be the hemmorhagic stroke.
At any rate when I strt to overheat
and can't sweat I have seizures. I
was wondering if anyone else has
this happen to them or knows why
this happens. I am on three
seizure meds-Topamax, Neurontin,
and Keppra.
Thanks,
