I have had epilepsy(petit mal) for years and have been seizure free for over 5 months since surgery. I recently went on birth control and embarrassingly enough, was in an arguement with my husband. The stress of surgery and everything involved has created a load of stress for a long time. I am not talking just a little stressed. Anyway, I went into some kind of transe and started screaming with fear while very upset. I knew right away I had a seizure, yet my husband said I didn't. It was exactly like a night terror, but I was awake. My husband had to grab me and try to get me to stop screaming, which I remember. I don't remember hearing myself screaming, yet I remember getting extremely frightened and the fear remained after.

My only guess is that it was a combination of the hormones and stress, which triggered something. My brain was basically rewired after surgery and maybe this is something new. I haven't had any other signs since that night. This is the freakiest thing I have ever experienced in my life. I feel like I was posessed or something (just a bit of humor-not true).
Any thoughts? I stopped the birth control immediately.
