[epilepsy] Sleep Study

 

Can anyone tell me exactly what goes on during a sleep study? I'm nervous for
the following reasons:

They want me to go off my medicine for 24-48 hours. If I'm off my medicine for
24 hours, I get a focal motor seizure. I don't black out, but it's still very
unpleasant, and I still run the risk of getting a very bad seizure. There is
no way to get Depakote into my system fast and I don't want to take the chance
of technicians not being able to stop a seizure fast.

One of my doctors told me I could do the test without going off my medicine; the
center said I have to go off it.
