Hi Brooke,

Welcome to the forum! Darlene gave you some great advice, I've found that taking vitamin B12 in the morning has reduced my sz. greatly. Just like you I have complex partial and absence sz. I did have myoclonic sz. where I would have a sz. when I first went to bed or after I had been up for a short time in the morning. My Dr. put me on vimpat and that stopped the myoclonic sz. and greatly reduced my complex partial and absence sz.
You may want to look into having a sleep study done, I had to have this done and my Epileptologist found I was having sz. in my sleep 1-2 hrs. before I wake up in the morning but I don't even realize when I 'm having the sz. I just feel a little tired in the morning when I wake up.
In regards to your dreams my neurosurgeon told me when a person dreams it's actually something they are thinking about deep in their mind but they don't realize it. The dream can relate to something that happened that day or maybe something you saw on tv.
You should also look into getting a video e.e.g. where you will be on camera around the clock and the Dr. can watch what's going on and at the same time be doing a e.e.g. to see if there's any activity going on in your brain.
The headaches shouldn't last that long and that concerns me, if you can have your family Dr. refer you to an Epileptologist and get admitted into the hospital to do a bunch of tests like the veeg, Spect and Pet scan along with an MRI.
To find the correct sz. med for you ask the Dr. to do a DNA test on you by doing that they can see the chemicals and enzymes in your body and match them up to the correct sz. med for you that will have the least side effect. Also ask to have a sleep study done as I mentioned before. I wish you the best of luck and May God Bless You!
