@santosha
thank you for explaining the difference of those seizures I didn't even think about the o e you mentioned. I am definitely going to do some more research on that seizure before my appointment in December. As far as I know with my sister she only had the two seizures they said it was from when she bumped her head when she was younger because they really didn't know why she suddenly had two seizures within 6 months. The meds I just started one was a mood stabilizer and the other was a pain med. I know it wasn't the pain med only because I felt completely out of it for the one day my eyes were squinted like the light bothered them.. However the next day I was fine totally normal no problem.

My pleasure @dolphfan!
Thank you for sharing that information about your sister. An epilepsy diagnosis typically requires two or more unprovoked seizures, so it's wonderful that she hasn't experienced any since.
After my diagnosis, I discovered that certain mood stabilizers can actually increase seizure activity. A psychiatrist prescribed me a mood stabilizer about a year before I was diagnosed with epilepsy, and it made my seizures worse.
Have you reported to this doctor who prescribed this mood stabilizer to you?
