Posted on Thu, 13 Aug 2015

Question: Having had epilepsy caused by Gynest, now I have stopped using it will I still get epilepsy?

Answered by Dr. Nidhi Setia (33 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
course of epilepsy is unpredictable.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM.

You have developed seizures after taking gynest and now stopped.

I do not think it should re-occur with stoppage of drug.

However, epilepsy is unpredictable. It may or may not occur in future even after one episode.

Hope this answers your query.
Take care.
Thanks.

Brief Answer:
EEG can help to differentiate.

Detailed Answer:
Yes migraine can be a possibility.
Severe pain can temporarily be associated with loss of speech and memory. The person has subjective as if he is unable to speak.

Electroencephalography can help to differentiate between migraine and epilepsy.

Kindly consult your doctor for this.
