Hi all. This is my first post, so I will tell about myself.
I am 24 years old and had my first seizure (grand mal) january 31, 2004. Though i've always been prone to spacing out and losing track of things, I had never even considered that I might have a seizure.

I have suffered from depression on and off since I was about 14 years old, however, and at the time of the seizure I had recently been put on wellbutrin (as I was to learn later - a huge no-no for people with a seizure disorder). To make matters worse, I was at my boyfriend's step-sister's wedding when it happened. I'm told it was pretty ugly.
The paramedics came and took me to the hospital where I was given a ct scan and a prescription to tegretol right away, as well as a referral to a neurologist.

After learning about wellbutrin, I of course discontinued it right away, and my neurologist proceeded to put me through many tests. By this point I was a bit freaked, but mostly frustrated as I felt so sure the wellbutrin alone had caused it. So my mri came out normal my neurologist told me, and just as I expected him to tell me the eeg was fine too, he told me that he saw a "slight abnormality from the temporal lobes" and ordered a sleep deprived eeg. I was in shock then and began to worry. But I went thru the sleep deprived test and felt fine. And so I went back to the doc... This time he said he saw definite seizure activity from the temporal lobes as I began to fall asleep during the test.

I couldn't believe it! He told me I was predisposed to seizures, and ever since then i've been on carbatrol, going back for regular checkups.
I haven't had any full on seizures since, though I do occassionally get weird sensations as if i'm separated from the room i'm in, or as if i'm part of a dream. Sometimes the room begins to visibly shake a vibrate a bit too. My doc says these are auras.

So... Thats basically my story, sorry so long winded.
My question is just how possible is it that my eeg results were caused by something else or maybe just temporary? How likely is it that this will continue forever or get worse?
They already made me retake my driving test, and I hate being seen as a bit more "delicate" now

anyhoo...Thanks for anyone who read this and anyone who can respond
