@ldlauwers
A number of anticonvulsants can worsen your normal seizures or cause different types they are known as Paradoxical seizures although rare including Onfi & lamotrigine. When did you first start taking seizure meds and when did what you believe are absence seizures begin?
What dosage of your meds are you taking?
Take care,
Jake

@jakedduck1 I have been taking lamotrigine for about 10 years. The onfi is new - I've tried it twice. Once last winter for a month or two and now same amount of time. Both times it was 10mg/2x day. The onfi was added because of what sounds like absence seizures and myoclonic jerks in my leg. The jerks have been happening for years but the episodes where I am just "gone" for a few seconds are before the onfi. I read a description on an absence seizure and it sounds exactly like what I have been experiencing.
