It sounds possible to me you were experiencing focal seizures. The déjà vu episodes were likely focal aware seizures. Were you unconscious at anytime?
Suicidal ideations happen in about one out of 500 people taking anticonvulsant medications and are more common in people with depression, suicidal and homicidal thoughts.
Do you have a history of anxiety, depression etc.
I assume the seizures you describe were your first.
take care,
Jake

While I have been appropriately sad over sad events, I have never been depressed. I am a bit high strung, as my mother would say, but I’m not anxious. I’m a mover. I wake up with a smile (always have) and off I go!
