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 like you’re thinking, and that one phrase means nothing. Partners sometimes just say stupid shit meant to be reassuring.

    Otherwise, sure, by knowing the triggers or poisoning you.

    You should talk to your doctor… And tell them you aren’t taking your meds.
