I have recently been experiencing some problems. When I am sitting down I get this buzzing feeling in the back of my head and then after that I can't remember anything. Am I having absence seizures?

@JRBouncerz2010 The first thing you should do is to be seen by a neurologist and request to have and E.E.G done also known as a Electro Encephalogram.

@zynab1234 First his Neurologist order MRI and an EEG done then they prescribed the following medications

1 full spoon of ETHOSUXIMIDE 250 MG/ML SYSTEV twice a day in the morning and at bed time (should start with 1/4 teaspoon and increase gradually)

the side effects are: chills, vomiting, tired, sleepy ask your doctor to prescribe PROMETHAZINE HCL PLAINSYP 6.25/5ML to avoid these symptoms)

DEPAKOTE ER 250 MG TABLE ABB

1 tablet by mouth in the morning and 2 tablets at bed time.

Please have your son to be seen by a neurologist and request to have E.E.G done to him this is one of the first step you should take immediatly. My son's seizure were discover by his teacher be advised not all teachers have knowledge about this type of seizures some teachers may thing that your son is simply not paying attention in class. I also suggest that you scroll on all the comments posted here.

Have they tried a drug called Lamictal on him? I too have Complex Partial Seizures a.k.a Absence Seizures. I have had them since I was about 4 years old or so. I have been on many different anti-convulsants. I am now on Lamictal and have been on it for about 2 years now. I only have a seizure about once or twice a week now.

@boeremeisie1 Hell @boeremeisie1 thanks for your comments. My son the boy on the video is already off all medication for about 4 months and he has not had any seizures. He was on depako for two years.

Thank u for showing signs of a absent seizure. Our 8 yr old is having the exact same thing happening to her. We are going for a EEG this friday. I hope your son is ok.

I used to have these but longer and occasionally more severe. I ended up being diagnosed with a brain tumor that was pressing up against my spinal chord causing my seizures. scary stuff.
