[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 36890, member: 1498"] What kind of seizures and where in the brain are they located? Temporal lobe epilepsy in particular can cause partial seizures which some call "emotional seizures" -- sudden irrational, unprovoked flair-ups/explosions of emotion. Naturally the ones most noted are the anger explosions though there can be others. I first noticed my son's when he was about 18 months old but it took me a few months to realize that the look in his eyes -- it wasn't the [i]real[/i] person -- were some kind of seizure activity. Unfortunately the doctors all blew me off. Topamax is a good choice for both seizures and mood disorders but it has that big potiential for severe cognitive dulling. Other good choices would be Trileptal and Lamictal. Stay away from antipsychotics and stims -- they can make seizure disorders worse by lowering the seizure threshold. [/QUOTE]
