Looking for help with non-epileptic seizures

Yep, I get the same answers. Mine have slowed down, but I'm on a bunch of meds to try to control them - gabapentin, lamotrigine, topiramate, clonidine, clonazepam, and sertraline. I also use medical marijuana. All has helped, none has completely stopped them. I also do CBT weekly and have tried EMDR. I've sort of resigned myself to the fact that I'm always going to have them. It's also been over a year for me too.

I started gabapentin for my fibromyalgia and I haven't had a seizure in over a year! the only time I've had a seizure while on gabapentin was during a bad asthma attack, which caused mild hypoxia and triggered a seizure (a complication of my heart problem). anticonvulsants are something you can ask your doctor about if you haven't tried them already

I think it would depend on a person's specific triggers. Non-epileptic seizures aren't always related to a psychological factor. I'm treating mine with sensory overload prevention, stress management, and not over working.

I found that getting on the right concoction of meds for my anxiety, depression, and bipolar helped significantly reduce my seizures. Mine are stress induced. I went from up to 14 seizures in one day to one every two months to a year plus.

I had a very similar experience. One doctor prescribed Lorazepam which I take when my anxiety levels are high as that is usually when I have a seizure. It has really helped me. It helps with both the anxiety and seizures.

In my case, I have non epileptic focal seizures from a TBI, which are controlled by Depakote. I was allergic to Dilantin and Tegretol though. Depakote has some hefty side effects, but controls my seizures so I live with it. I can't say what would work of course, but I say don't give up researching, asking your doctor and finding a new doctor if they won't help. I've learned to question doctors more over the years because I know what is or is not working for me. Good luck.

Well I am the same way but I also have diabetic seizures so I got put on Lamictal 150mg and it has worked amazingly
