Hi Jake, I am very new to all this but not new to medical issues. I have short staring episodes and I do not loose consciousness. I sweat and shake and do not remember things I was doing. I haven't been diagnosed with seizures. I am being treated for migraines and the staring episodes became a lot worse. I am on 500mg bid of Levetiracetam. Thanks for the tip about manufacturers.

Hi, @debvat. I'd also like to welcome you to Mayo Clinic Connect. I wanted to mention that if you'd like to discuss migraines with others, you may wish to check out these discussions

How is the levetiracetam working for you with the seizure-like symptoms? You mentioned not being diagnosed with seizures. Was a diagnosis given for the episodes you described?
