Patricia: My Seizure was about 2 weeks af stopping my med! And I stopped when I was already at about 6 weeks into my taper, so I was already on a super-low dosage. After re-reading all your messages, I'd say this is pretty urgent for you to address!!
Re the neuropathy, mine is peripheral neuropathy, since diagnosed in ~1978. So far I haven't found a doctor who'll do anything but do the test to verify the diagnosis (anger!!!) and now I'm putting up with not just the feeling of walking on small pebbles and the pain, but I'm numb to the touch to about 2" above my ankle joint, feet themselves more numb deeper, so walking is kind of scary but possible.

I have had neuropathy (diagnosed) for over 20 years- but has been escaping the last 5 years. I am healthy, eat well - have eliminated sugar, starches and processed food multiple times without any effect on my feet. My pain is worse on left and like yours about 2-3” pass my ankles now.
I used to walk 2-4 miles three or four times a week prior to that surgery nerve release on my three left nerves - now I am lucky to do a mile on a good day. Plus now my age (75) is catching up with me.
Also, I have tried all the magnesium turmeric B12 D3. In fact my primary care just took me off B12 because I was over 6000 on the scale when my blood work came back she said it too too high can cause neuropathy. Bullshit to her. I will continue to do my own research or I think now I’m going to consider a nutritionist although I feel I eat very healthy. I may be eating the wrong foods. My cholesterol is good. My weight is good. I definitely don’t see any more neurologist, primary cares or pain management helping me. I wish I was close to a Mayo Clinic or could find it empathetic doctor that would listen.
