Apparently, Neurontin was the cause of my 2 seizures.
3 CT-scans, negative.
2 MRIs, negative (with and without contrast) Ganglion totally normal.
I don't have Epilepsy. I appear to have
*nocturnal trigeminal neuralgia*
affecting the secondary trigeminal branch where an incompetent ENT burned
me with a defective CO2 laser.
Two months without Neurontin -- no seizures.
Very strange though ... *nocturnal* TN. What the hell is that??
But who knows? ... sinus/brain/dental surgery can cause anything.
Current meds I'm trying for sleep and pain relief are:
Keppra 500 mg.
Valium 20 mg.
Soma 700 mg.
Klonopin 4 mg.
Some Red Wine.
Clonidine .4 mg.
NO SLEEP MEDICATIONS!!! (ie Ambien, Lunesta)
I'm trying to get sleepy with the Keppra, but its a little weak.
However, it has killed the nerve pain.
I'll try to titrate down. (anything but Neurontin and sleeping pills!)
Thanks.
