Thanks so much for your feedback-I really appreciate it!
Yes you need second opinion if you are unaware of what exactly happened and all tests come back normal, eeg's,mri's. The eeg should be done without meds and done in hospital under video monitoring. Many things can cause you to go unconscious not just seizures. Just because you were likely to have them as a young adult doesn't necessarly mean you will have them later. You need to be completely honest and recall everything you can about the evening which will be helpful to the doctor. I am sure you don't recall but maybe someone you know might know. Being on seizure meds and having your license taken away is awful!!! Good luck to you!
I only had one major episode,fell to the floor,bumped my head and was immediately knocked unconscious.So I have no recollection as to what it was like!I now have headaches and a horribly bitten tongue,but all my test results showed nothing.Why then should I take this medication?I guess I need a second opinion?It's really confusing!
I'm so sorry about your situation though.This is a terrible affliction!Take care of yourself.

I was diagnosed with petit mal at the age of 19 after severe carbonmonoxide poisoning for 2 years I now have partial lobe seizures I am 43. I have been on 20 some pills all failed. I have to have brain surgery. I am on Keppra I hate it it's her last hope for me, it's not working. I understand. Did you have seizures and get diagnosed or exactly what happened? I understand you are prone to them but have you had a video monitoring eeg without meds? What are your seizures like?
