I am epileptic i am tegritol, I take Velex CR medicine, I am 29, But lots of vomiting, and spit, Can't eat anything Can't get out of bed all day. My country is Bangladesh. Please give me any medicine that helps.
Try getting in touch with your doctor on the NHS in the UK. It often takes 2 weeks to get a return call from an Epilepsy nurse. Changing medications? Adjusting dosages? These are things that take months to get the ball rolling with as far as getting Drs to do their job.
My meds are not controlling my seizures at all now I've been on that many different tablets over the last four years. I'm currently in talks with consultants/surgeons and few upcoming appointments waiting for face to face. First option was VNS , now I'm opting by choosing a major brain operation to be seizure free at Queen Elizabeth hospital ( UK )

Hello Sir, Hope you are doing well! I have been watching your videos and they are very informative. I have a medical issue of General Epilepsy (triggers- mainly stress, lack of sleep or fever, last seizure was on 19th July 2023 due to stress which I got after 2 years) I also have WPW syndrome and I had undergone ablation treatment in the year 2019 however this was not successful. I currently don’t have any symptoms or palpitations caused by WPW. I recently got married last year, my husband and I are thinking about family planning but what bothers me the most is passing my health illness to the child in any form. Could you please advice how should we go about this and what are the risks involved during and post pregnancy. Also my medicines are: Levepil 750 morning Folic acid 5 mg morning Lamitor OD 100 morning Levepil 1000 night Lamitor OD 100 night I’ll be very grateful to you if you could guide us 🙏🏼

hi, I got epilepsy from a vaccine when I was little, then I had a seizure, they punctured my spine, I left the hospital, they told him that it would happen again, when I turned 18, I had a seizure and since then I suffered until 2011, I left to the operation, the operation was successful and after 2 years, the doctor told me that I can drive in 2017, mine said that I can stop taking the tablets, I was afraid until now, which means that I drink and 13 years after the operation that I did, my epilepsy was called temporal lobe epilepsy from the day of the operation I didn't have seizures, but I was afraid to stop the pills and now I'm tired of them, I drink tegretol 300 mg in the morning and 300 mg in the evening and now I started to stop it, it's been 7 days, is it safe since my Neurology said that there won't be any more attacks and gave my paper how can i stop in 12 weeks thanks in advance
Can you please watch a video of my daughter? I believe she is having multiple seizures a day. Her first seizure was complex partial secondary generalized it went on for hours and she received multiple emergency meds from ems and the hospital that was last August. Her eeg now is showing more generalized with photosensitivity. she started doing these movements in May every few days now it is happening multiple times a day. And she had hit her head a few times on the wall during them. I got the video from her Sami3 I haven't been able to catch one on my phone they happen so fast. Her epileptologist thinks it is stimming from the videos but I don't think so.

Hello Dr.Danoun I was watching your RUclips on pnes. My wife recent was hospitalized for her seizures she had over 30 of them in 4 days . The mri and eeg come out fine . She usually only has 1 or 2 a month . Finally when her seizures stopped happening so often she no longer has feeling in both her legs . At first she said she could feel a tingling sensation on bottom of foot . But not it’s been 2 days and she still has no feeling in her legs . We are very worried and would greatly appreciate your feedback . She is 26 years old . Thank you Dr
I don't really know what I was diagnosed with like 6 ish years ago doctor said it was a slight form of epilepsy, ( whenever I closed my eyes, when I try to sleep or even when I was in class and teachers would say close your eyes even for a couple seconds if I wasn't focused fully on my breathing I would get a little tremble like a little shake, it really affected me when I was sleeping but I didn't saw anything until a day my mom was sleeping with me a couple years later when we moved and a doctor saw me) I was put on Keppra it works but I've noticed self things on myself I don't know if this was even the right drug for me also idk if there are better prescriptions I could be put on if anyone could help thnx
Hey I know this is video is a few months old but I'm hoping some people are lurking in the comments section that might be able to help me. I've been having what at first I thought was nightmares or sleep paralysis but after what happened last night I think it might be seizures. It starts when I'm just about fully asleep but not quite with me imagining/half dreaming something is looking in my window or last night it was the imagined sounds of talking outside my house and this triggers an intense fear to start. It's similar to the feeling as you wake up from a nightmare, just that palpable intense fear, along with tingling face and extremities, and mild confusion. Usually these symptoms subside quickly once I fully wake up and I go back to sleep after a minute or two but last night it continued to build and then I felt a rushing/tingling feeling that went up my body into my head and my vision started to black out and sound became distorted, everything souded robotic and garbled. This continued in ebbing cycles of greater then less intensity for what I think was a minute or two. Towards the end of this I noticed my hands were numb and tingling especially my left, and after the episode stopped I felt freezing cold even though my room is kept on the warm side. This was terrifying and I lay awake for some time after wondering what just occurred. I decided to research as soon as I woke up this morning. I am absolutely going to see my doctor but in the meantime if anyone here has any knowledgable comments, advice, or similar experiences to share with me I would greatly appreciate it as I am feeling alone and frightened at the moment.
So glad to find this video! I was prescribed Briviact and was told by my neuro not to stop taking abruptly. Because it's a controlled substance, I cannot refill the prescription until the day before I'm out, but it takes 3 days for the pharmacy to receive the order. This was a big stress for 10 months, but also a blessing in disguise because it was causing bronchial spasms and issues with my asthma. I had a gap due to a lack of availability from Pharmacy and all the sudden my breathing problems went away. That allowed me to prove to the doctor that the Briviact was causing my bronchial spasms and they switched me to Zonisamide, which I'm liking a lot better. Better availability, less depression, my creativity is coming back, my happy emotions are coming back, and the breathing troubles are over after 10 months. Only had a few seizures when stopping Briviact.

Hi Doctor. I've just come across your videos and I'm very happy that I did. My daughter has been getting seizures since 4 months old, she is now 14yrs old. Medication is not helping. We are not people who are financially rich but we want our daughter to live a seizure free life. I as a mother, I feel so desperate for help and so helpless. Please help 🙏
Hello Dr. Danoun, This past week, I have had 2 grand mal seizures, and my family is extremely worried about me. I am seeking help from an experienced neurologist who can possibly guide in me in the right way. If this reaches you I would love to exchange information and get to know you better. Thanks.
Please would you-Dr Danoun or others on here-which have had a good antiseizur drug for photosenative seizures. Some day I'd like to drive again- the focals & TCs are well controlled but the photosensitives aren't playing ball 🙄😏
Son got off Leverticiam bc he was having break through and very moody. So we put him on Briviact. He is doing so well. But it’s so expensive. Any recommendations where we can get assistance for this drug?
My wife has epilepsy, now she is 4 months pregnant. She has had this disease for 3 times. Sir, what do you do for this? She is already taking medicine (levipil 750).
Hey Doc- quick question. With Mesial temporal sclerosis and focal aware seizures, is it possible these will NOT progress to tonic clonic seizures? I’m terrified of that happening

No medicines or anything works...no eeg, no test has been able to detect anything or cause. So crazy! 😢 I feel like keto is my only hope left. I cry everyday bc I'm tired of having these seizures. I had them on road trips, cars, target, mall....it's so bad that my husband doesn't even want to take me to any public areas afraid I might have one...AGAIN! I don't even drive bc I don't wanna accidentally get in an accident and take someone else's life as result of my inconsideration/selfness and desperation to drive. I just wanna be normal. I'm tired of having seizures! Feels like I gotta try keto ❤
Doctor, help. Is it tetany or epilepsy? Positive tetany test. Attacks only at night. One hand clenches itself into a fist. Arm twisting. Slight tremors and tongue biting. Does biting your tongue during an attack always mean epilepsy? Could this be a tetany attack? Sorry for mistakes. I am writing from another country.
The best way to tell them apart is to do a long video EEG and record the events and check the brain waves at the time which will show if was a seizure or spasms

We are not people who are financially rich but we want our daughter to live a seizure free life. I as a mother, I feel so desperate for help and so helpless. Please help 🙏

Hello Dr. Danoun, This past week, I have had 2 grand mal seizures, and my family is extremely worried about me. I am seeking help from an experienced neurologist who can possibly guide in me in the right way. If this reaches you I would love to exchange information and get to know you better. Thanks.
Please would you-Dr Danoun or others on here-which have had a good antiseizur drug for photosenative seizures.
Some day I'd like to drive again- the focals & TCs are well controlled but the photosensitives aren't playing ball 🙄😏
Son got off Leverticiam bc he was having break through and very moody. So we put him on Briviact. He is doing so well. But it’s so expensive. Any recommendations where we can get assistance for this drug?
Dear doctor Omar Are depakin chrono 500 mg and trileptal 600 mg drugs with the same effect?
Can kids take Lacosamide 100mg & clobazam 5mg together?
My wife has epilepsy, now she is 4 months pregnant. She has had this disease for 3 times. Sir, what do you do for this? She is already taking medicine (levipil 750).
Hey Doc- quick question. With Mesial temporal sclerosis and focal aware seizures, is it possible these will NOT progress to tonic clonic seizures? I’m terrified of that happening
السلام عليكم

Is it possible that a epilepsy patient have a normal EEG,or cannot find abnormalities in EEG？
Yes
@@DrOmarDanoun Thanks for your reply
No medicines or anything works...no eeg, no test has been able to detect anything or cause. So crazy! 😢 I feel like keto is my only hope left. I cry everyday bc I'm tired of having these seizures. I had them on road trips, cars, target, mall....it's so bad that my husband doesn't even want to take me to any public areas afraid I might have one...AGAIN! I don't even drive bc I don't wanna accidentally get in an accident and take someone else's life as result of my inconsideration/selfness and desperation to drive. I just wanna be normal. I'm tired of having seizures! Feels like I gotta try keto ❤
Salaams
Do you ever come to the uk
Hi. Is ETHOSUXIMIDE medicine good for tonic clonic seizures
No.. Only treats staring spells and absence epilepsy
I'm from the UK is there anyway I could get a phone call appointment with you?
Yes of course.. Details in the first comment.. Just email the hospital and get your appointment
If you have a fatty liver will Briviact work for seizures?
It should
Extremely interesting!
Doctor, help. Is it tetany or epilepsy? Positive tetany test. Attacks only at night. One hand clenches itself into a fist. Arm twisting. Slight tremors and tongue biting. Does biting your tongue during an attack always mean epilepsy? Could this be a tetany attack? Sorry for mistakes. I am writing from another country.
The best way to tell them apart is to do a long video EEG and record the events and check the brain waves at the time which will show if was a seizure or spasms
@@DrOmarDanoun Thank you very much for the answer❤️
Why do some people when they have FND have Fake strokes or they have fake seizures? what is the difference?
That is how the network get it out. Please review the PNES series for full explanation
@@DrOmarDanoun I did review it still couldn't figure out the differences. The differences in care.
يعطيك العافيه دكتور

It is so hard to get xcopri (cenobamate) the pharmacist told me they only had 2 blister packs of the dose i need at the warehouse they ship from at the time… just 2!!!
It is a new medication so maybe some pharmacies do not have enough in stock.. I believe all big pharmacies should have it
