Daughter not on medication for seizure no diagnosis

Posted by cc001 @cc001, Nov 11, 2019

Hello. It's been a year since my healthy daughter started random seizures. Only at nights and happens between 1am and 3 am.. she's progressing really well and incidents less when we worked on a lot of emotional issues and she is doing amazing at school now and worked out a lot of her social issues and self expressing. Doctors think it's triggered by emotions although episodes emulate seizures..should I consider putting her on medication since video EEG takes forever to get an appojntment? Right now episodes are less frequent and only at nights. I just would not want to put her on meds if I don't have to. Your input will be greatly appreciated. Right now it's not affecting her daily living she is a competitve full time dancer and still competes ..when she wakes up from the seizure she is fully aware and I ask her questions and she's fine. It's like nothing happened. Any incidents similar would love to chat
