Re: Advice for psychotic episodes?

Mention it anyway, even though you're paranoid. Suck it up and do it, dude, ASAP. Any good neuro won't yank your meds, trust me (They literally cannot do that to someone with diagnosed epilepsy--assuming you had the EEG? Yeah, no one's going to tell you you're crazy.), and any good neuro will absolutely have the toolkit and familiarity with the drugs/the side effects to be able to suggest alternatives.

If you're worried the neuro you're seeing now is a bit sketch, ask your GP for a referral to a different specialist, and explain why. (Diet and sleep as contributing factors to seizures? Yeah, no.) Your GP should be able to offer some advice on dealing with the meds/side effects as well.

OP

I've had 2 EEGs; both have come back normal, but this may be due to the fact that I pretty much only have seizure activity around certain periods of my menstrual cycle. But hopefully they would still reconsider yanking my meds because they've been so effective so far (leaving aside the paranoia).

I have been thinking about a different neuro, who is a good deal closer and was recommended to me by a friend who also has epilepsy. I'll keep it under consideration if I feel like I'm not getting anywhere with my current set up.

I think I just have to fucking not listen to my paranoia and get a hold of my neuro. So far everyone has been fantastic once I stopped withholding information, so I can only imagine this to be a continuing trend.

AYRT

Yes, your last paragraph is correct, pay attention to/take care of yourself, OP. And very best of luck!
