When a person gets an eeg, they put the "sensors" (not the right word) onto the scalp using glue. It is a nightmare to get out. Someone asked if anyone had a good way to get it out and I do but I walked away and forgot to respond. [ Reply | More

I've had many eegs. the last one wasn't a problem at all to get out. but if you are having trouble, really saturate the hair w/water, massage shampoo in, and leave in for 5-10 minutes. Rinse and see how it goes. [ Reply | More

ugh. generalized or localized? I have juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME), interestingly enough not dx'd until I was 38. Apparently have had it my whole life. But, at my last eeg (not sleep-deprived), she saw no seizure activity. is dd on medication? [ Reply | More

totally know what you mean. grand mals are a bitch. I've only had 2, but they're really scary. you lose hours of your life. Just so you know - Keppra can cause depression. If she is at all down, don't be afraid to talk to the doc about switching meds. Hopefully the Lamictal would counteract it, though. [ Reply | More

Yes and all they saw on her last eeg were these tiny nano-second blips that showed the brain was still "annoyed" by all it had been through. However, she is on Lamictal and Keppra and may end up being on some form of medication all her life. [ Reply | More

I'm on Lamictal, hated Keppra. I never heard of using them both together. Lamictal is used for generalized. It's also been a great anti-depressant for me. Keppra drove me crazy. Honestly, I'm surprised my marriage survived the Keppra, and I was only on it for a few weeks. [ Reply | More

300 mg. I've never heard about restricting "where" you can drive. I honestly think it would be more dangerous to drive in the city. There was a huge accident in SF a few years ago b/c of a seizure and irresponsible driver. [ Reply | More
