natscoolma,

Have you had a full spectrum EEG done yet? By full spectrum, I mean one with the flashing lights and other standard triggers.

It sounds like the flashing lights may have been a problem. I know to avoid flashing lights. They do not appear to cause me to have a seizure, but they get my thoughts all 'muddy,' sort of like my thoughts are not able to flow properly or are stuck in a haze.

The ultracet lists seizure as a clinically significant side effect. Maybe you are one of the very few with this side-effect. It also list fainting as a side effect.

I would be very careful driving in the dark. Such that, if you see a flashing light in the distance, try to avoid driving past it. Since I do not drive, I will look away or even close my eyes to avoid the flashing lights. Closing your eyes while you drive is as bad as the risk of a seizure, so I would not advise either. LOL

You would be surprised to know how many people have problems trying to drive at night. My wife has virtually no depth perception at night, especially if she is tired.

I hope you can get a doctor to be concerned for you and look into this seriously. Be persistent.

My best to you.
