Night Seizures
Posted: 01-15-05 07:54am

My 26 year old son has had 3 grand mal seizures and they all occurred at night. His wife noticed they followed nights of decreased sleep. He also says during the day he knows he has had little episodes where he cannot talk or express his thoughts but he is awake. Any connection?

He has had a negative eeg, mri and ct scan. He has recently begun topamax last week and is gradually increasing the dose. We are wondering about sleep studies and if there is a correlation. Is there treatment if it is from sleep apnea?
