Q: Eyes Fluttering Sometimes
asked by: sami_1982 on January 7th, 2007

Hello everyone,
i was just wondering if anyone else gets this. I think I first noticed it when I came off tegretol or when I was on it I cant remember anyway. If I am concentrating, like for instance, cutting food up for tea. Being careful with a knife not to cut my self. My eyes will do this flutter up down then while they are doing that they will also flutter side to side and it makes me feel all weird. Like I get this feeling up my neck also that goes behind my ears. I just dont know what it is. Could it be a form of seizure or aura.

I believe it varies from person to person. I am almost seventeen years old now, and my eyes have been fluttering since I was at least seven, maybe longer. Of course, I wasn't on medication when I was that young, and I only recently started using Valproic Acid.

I think the eye fluttering is just a symtom of being epileptic, something to do with brain firings and the neurons but I can't be sure. There's still so much I don't know.
