Yes- I just had a seizure Monday & the 15 minutes prior I had an insatiable thirst.  I drank 3 waters in a few minutes & then I had a seizure.  I was also very cold.

Hello and welcome!
It is common to have headache, nausea and extreme thirst after a seizure. A person feels exhausted after a seizure. He may have transient loss of speech and memory. Many antiepileptic drugs like Keppra also cause extreme thirst in individuals taking this drug. If you are experiencing any new symptoms or a change in symptoms before or after the seizure it is best to consult your neurologist about it .That might help. Do keep us posted.
Best wishes!
