Hi Elaine,

Just like you I've had myoclonic seizures and I had to have a sleep study done along with a e.e.g. and e.k.g. to find out I was having seizures in my sleep. I didn't realize it was happening until I felt more tired in the morning when I woke up and I knew I had gotten plenty of sleep.
I started taking vimpat 300 mg. a day and since then the myoclonic seizures stopped but I'm still dealing with absence and complex partial seizures along with simple partial (aura) seizures which I've had for many yrs. My Dr. told me to stop drinking coffee and anything with caffeine in it and that was a big help stopping the myoclonic seizures.
Please take note when these seizures happen like if there's a low pressure in the weather, you're not feeling well, or if you have been on a cell phone for awhile during the day. All of these things can trigger seizures form some people. I found out being around a lot of people using cell phones triggered seizures for me and that was because my brain is sensitive to the frequency that cell phones use and in turn it causes seizures. I wish you only the best and May God Bless You!
