I stopped taking my seizure meds for a few weeks.
When I was living with my ex, going off the meds resulted in seizures within the next few days. I mean grand mal, unconscious for a few minutes and post octal phase where I have zero idea what is going on (one of the most terrifying feelings you can have honestly) I’ve been living on my own for a few years now, and gradually halfed my dose for financial reasons.
For the past <month I’ve been entirely off.
Maybe this is weird. But at one point there was a few days where I had left my meds somewhere else after staying elsewhere a few days, and was worried about driving, and he said: “don’t worry, you aren’t going to have a seizure.”
Not a Doctor, take this for what it’s worth
But my understanding is that, depending on the type of seizure disorder and a whole host of other factors, there’s a lot of things that can potentially trigger seizures
Flashing lights are a classic example, but also smells, temperature, stress, diet, hormones, drug/alcohol use or withdrawal, fever, lack of sleep, etc.
Also you said that you gradually halved your dose since then, that might also be a factor. Lets say you were on 100mg before and 50 now. When your body was acclimated to 100mg, it was probably a bigger shock to your system to go without than it is now that your body is only used to 50, obviously 0 to 100 is a bigger difference than 0 to 50.
