Well like I said I dont know if its Aleve or not. Yesterday I took it by accident (thought I was geabbing tylenol) and took two. Then about 3 hours later I had another "seizure." Coincidence? Maybe. I dont know, but my wife hid the aleve just to be safe.
The thing that scares me now though is before I used to get a warning sign one was coming, these past few times im not. They are so strange too. Its almost like I can feel my brain telling my body to do it, but I cannot stop it. Sounds weird I guess, but just something ive noticed in some of them. Some I remember and im aware of, others I have no clue about. The people that have witnessed them have said they seem to be getting worse each time though. |

One of the best ways to tell whether you have seizures or not are anticonvulsants.
If you take anticonvulsants and seizures stop this would indicate possible epilepsy. I haven't collapsed since November since I was prescibed Lyrica. Due an EEG on Friday so we shall see.
