As soon as my daughter turned 5 years old she started having seizures. We were outside playing and her body leaned forward and she fell face down on the sidewalk. We automatically knew something wasn't right. Before a seizure occurs she will either have mouth movement, tight fists, or look dazed and then her head lean and she falls forward to the floor. This is called a head drop. Afterwards she sometimes also falls asleep. She has seizures that occur in multiple areas of her brain and is now taking 250mg of depakene. The seizures were picked up with a EEG scan that was monitored for 3 days.

Seizure occurred when watching a gory TV scene. Lasted less than a minute. Afterwards, no symptoms other than anxiety about the event. No previous events (he is fifteen). His sister had a single seizure when nine, three years ago, with no recurrence.

When my baby was 4 months he would shake for a few seconds and then stop. I thought that maybe he could not catch his breath or maybe had gas, but then a month later he had the same reaction at my mom house and it scared her. I took him to the ER. Where he was evaluated and then a follow up visit with the Neurologist, who stated that it was nothing and suggested maybe he, was holding his breath... Now 3 years later he is having the same symptoms. His hands shake and his teeth seem to tighten up, it usually last for a few seconds then returns then stop, he's fine afterwards and back to normal activities... have another appointment with the neurologist.

My daughter has seizures started when she was 10 months and she is now 6 years she takes depakine for 1 year but the seizures have not stopped and she has a lot of side effects like weakness and can't swallow. She was 3 years old when we stopped the medicine slowly and she was ok but sometimes she has light convulsions. I believe that she will be ok when she grows up because in my family we have similar cases like my brother he stopped seizures at 6 years without medication. Before 5 months she takes lamotrigine but she still has seizures. I think the medicine is not useful for her case.

My child had a seizure consisting of smacking of the lips and blinking of the eyes for about 1 and half minutes. She was somewhat alert because when I said her name she looked in response.
