Re: [epilepsy] Seizure While Sleeping

 

I have complex partial as well and I would smell gasoline or strong perfume smells and no one else would smell them.  I also would see bright lights but i was on Depakote and though these were hallucinations as I would also have night terrors but I'm on Trileptol and I've been basically fine.

I have Complex Partials, so I see and smell things that aren't there. Because mine occur in the temporal lobe, I get that awful smell (for me it's pepper), a weird feeling in my stomach, etc...

I while ago I would have the night terrors--I've changed my medicine since then, and I haven't had them since. I've also added progesterone to my meds, which has helped a lot as well.

I'm not at risk for SUDEP, which is what Tim mentioned.

I used to wake up in terror--it was the worst feeling. I think it depends upon what type of seizures you have. I don't shake, most of mine are sensory--but it was the night terrors that were horrible.

My husband wakes up very dazed and confused with significant impairment to his short-term memory the next morning.
