Hi Uhura,
Allot of the triggers of seizures you mention are from being light sensitive. I was very light sensitive! There are no meds. specifically for light sensitive people with epilepsy. I was always adjusting my heard and responses of knowing if I do this or that I will see light in ways I knew they could trigger a seizure. So very often simply stayed away from situations where I learned that light would trigger either an aura or seizure in time.
I never heard of a stress difference between NES and ES. Never heard that brought up before. Hope I helped in some way? Take care, keep a smile on your face!
Friends always, Steve

Lamictal doesn't have side effects for me-or so I thought. My sensitivity to light is increasing. Things seem bright and I notice things flicker more than I used to. My eye doctor once said that any medicine taken for something in the nervous system, will have an effect one one sense or another (hearing, sight, etc). I can't avoid seeing things like shadows flickering through trees, sign language, etc.
