This is so, so weird. I started taking celexa and had seizures, and for 2 years AFTER stoping celexa, I had epileptic and non epileptic seizures. All forms of seizures I had, but I had control of my pee and poo. I've had EEGs and EKGs showing that I have some epileptic episodes but mainly non epileptic seizures caused by anxiety. So, to help, the neurologists and my pcp put on 3 types of anxiety meds, keppra, and clonazapam as a rescue med. I still had seizures.
I should note that in the few months between stopping celexa and starting all of these other meds, I was either tremoring, seizing (clonic), sleeping, or attempting to eat.
Now, after 2 years of meds and still having seizures, I stopped taking my meds. I stopped because I ran out of my anxiety meds and needed to wait till my paycheck to come in to get more. I continued everything else and hoped I didn't have anxiety attacks and seizures. I had some anxiety and no seizures. No auras, no partial seizures, no ticks, nothing. So I waited another week, still no seizures. I stopped my keppra after that and still no seizures.
It's now been a month and I haven't had any seizures, no ticks, nothing seizure related. I had an EEG about a week or so ago and I was slightly spooked when the flashing bit started, causing some tremors, but that only lasted the first 2 rounds and I calmed down. I still haven't had any seizures sense then.
I honestly wonder if I am just allergic or something to most anxiety meds. I'd tell yall what I took but I'm at work and unable to open up my records at the moment.
