Can Drop Seizures suddenly appear?
Sat, 07/02/2005 - 21:37Am 35 , have been dealing with seizures since teen years. Recently switched from Tegrotol to Trileptal a couple weeks ago. Had an episode while stenuously working out...passed out suddenly and fractured my orbital. Didn't bite my tongue or feel the urge to go to the bathroom prior to the episode...can it be possible I had a drop seizure for the first time?

MY SON HAD SEIZURES FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND THAN SUDDENLY STARTED HAVING DROP SEIZURES, WHICH CONTINUED FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. WE NEVER DID FIGURE OUT WHY THEY STARTED. HOPEFULLY IF THAT IS WHAT YOUR HAVING YOU CAN FIND OUT IF IT IS MEDICATION RELATED OR WHAT. GOOD LUCK
