Those are all the questions the Epilepsy specialist asked:
I don't get confused. I don't have a headache. I don't wet myself. I don't feel tired. I don't black out. I just go down, and get back up (with difficulty because I have mobility problems). I've had two EEGs and a sleep study with EEG in the past 3 years...all perfectly normal. So, I really think he's right. So I'm slowly stopping the Depakote. The doctor said if the Depakote didn't help, nothing would. And the condition developed while I was taking 3600 mg Neurontin (Gabapentin), another reason I wondered how it could be true seizures. SO, I'm in bed today with the bronchitis from h..l. I guess it lasts up to 3 weeks. So I'm a bed potato for today. Thanks for all your support and care over the past week, Sue. Love, ElaineD |

Hi Elaine,
I think I know what your problem may be and that's the Neurontin. I was on it for a short time for a concussion and it caused me to have status epilepticus seizures, then I saw on NBC DATELINE where 2 employees reported the drug co. because they found out the drug can cause seizures for people who have never had a seizure in there life. If you find you aren't having anymore problems once you get off the Neurontin you may want to see a lawyer. There's millions in lawsuits against this drug co. for what it's done to people. Wishing you only the best and May God Bless You! Sue |

I don't think it was the Neurontin. My doctor for Epilepsy works with my ordinary Neurologist....all connected to Duke Hospital. The sense is that since I have a host of neurological problems related to autonomic neuropathy that in all probably this is just another piece of that package. Thanks for all your help. Hugs, Elaine |
