Can Drop Seizures suddenly appear?

Sat, 07/02/2005 - 21:37

Am 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?

Can anybody describe an aura to me? Is it that bizarre feeling of deja vu? Is it anything like you're watching everything, but you aren't really part of it? Thanks, marko88

The Deja Vu is a  Simple partial

Dayna, you said a Deja Vu is a simple partial.I'm confused??? I thought a Deja Vu was the feeling like an aura.Isn't a simple partial an actual seizure?Set me straight.My family also can tell when I'm going to have a seizure~something with my eyes,right one droops.Thanks
