[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 23290, member: 1498"] From his description, it sounds like a complex partial seizure. They can appear very much like absence seizure (aka petit mal seizures) except they last much longer. As smallworld mentioned, Abilify and all the antipsychotics can lower the seizure threshold. Focalin and all the stims can lower the seizure threshold, too. And the maximum recommended dose of Focalin is 20 mg/day. Keep in mind, also, that only about 50% of the cases of temporal lobe epilepsy are detected by EEGs because of location of the temporal lobe in the brain. MRIs will detect abnormalities in the brain but they do not detect seizure activity. [/QUOTE]
