I heard it from you, DrD., that Keppra and Prozac are not a great combo. One month ago, emergency Dr prescribed Keppra after 3rd seizure. Prozac prescribed 2yrs ago. What if Prozac causes the seizure? Neurologist does not agree the combo is a bad one for me. How do I respectfully say I want reconsideration to my doctors? I like them and need their supports. Thank you for all the goods. Temporal Lobe Epilepsy diagnosed July 2023. I understand the confusion now.
Thank you doctor for the videos, keep them coming! I have a question, is it okay to prescribe or for the patient to take as many as four different medications in combination therapy for focal seizures? Or is it too much?
Sir, while trying to reduce the dose , it is better to reduce it from taking 50mg every day to taking 25mg every day OR taking 50mg alternative days ?, the tablet is brevipil 50mg sir

Dr how to stimulate the epilepsy patients to prevent collapse of lungs and heart ,when there is status epilepticus greater than 15 minutes? Kindly give your valuable thought???
These are two different things.. In status epilepticus you need to give rescue treatment and go to the hospital. Stimulation is just physical movement and talking

It is complex and unclear.. But in patients with celiac disease gluten might trigger seizures. Here is an article about this issue www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6586915/
I had the great oppertunity to meet Dr. Danoun as a care provider and his bed side manner is exceptional. He is a partner to our neurologist and a very good dr! Thank you Dr Danoun for making my LO feel so comfortable! You were the first out of 5 neurologist to get my loved one to listen to the recommendation about VNS after years of refusing to even discuss it!
Love your t-shirt. I got myself one for what i studied in university. Keep the great factual medical and research information coming. It is much appreciated. ❤
Could you do a video about epilepsy in children. Specifically about what 2 years without seizure activity means? What if they feel lightheaded and act strange for 5 seconds? Are we only counting things that are definitely a seizure or anything that might have been? Let’s say if a child had complex focal into tonic clonic seizures and why they were diagnosed + EEG. Is two years without a definite/clear seizure that parents should speak to the neurologist about trying another EEG and weaning if everything looks good? What about if another seizure happens, but it’s provoked through illness, or lack of sleep, or missed dose? Restart the 2 years? Appreciate seeing your general thoughts on this complicated topic!
Hello Dr Omar, patients like me and everyone else with epilepsy need support when it comes to employment and ways of living. How do we continue working and not being discriminated against when we have a condition only. It is not a disease such as e.g HIV or Cancer it is a condition that can be looked after in many ways. I find even when I attend support group meetings we don’t have enough support to keep us in the employment field . I’ve worked over 20 yrs and studied at Uni whilst working and also driving , I’ve lost all this because of my epilepsy. My doctor isn’t sure why , I do have catamenial type epilepsy so it could be I’m going into menopause and the seizures becoming worse I don’t know 🤷♀️ I’d like to not be discriminated because if my condition , condition only but a disease or STD or cancer etc we are still able to continue living normally if we have this condition under control and maintain it under control for so long etc . Please share your thoughts? Thank you 🙏
I actually am in the same situation where I randomly developed epilepsy at 25 out of nowhere. The doctors didn’t know what it was from and for about three years my trigger and type of epilepsy was a big question mark. Until I got myself off of medication and was able to keep a seizure log and found out I too have catamential epilepsy and was only able to find this out by doing my own research after finding that they would come around my period time. Jobs have been extremely hard to keep I’ve even had jobs that keep me on the schedule, but don’t give me work so they don’t have to deal with having fired an epileptic for seizures. Also, I found that I have applied for Disability three different times and been denied and told that epilepsy is not a disability that qualifies to be helped with disability???
Unfortunately I am in Australia 🇦🇺, I am Indigenous and yes there is support in so many ways but like I said I’ve lost every entitlement like employment, driving and even my social life in so many ways . Unfortunately it’s sad I had to leave work specifically because if my condition and I also had two other friend with epilepsy lose their jobs recently from their condition as well . I think worldwide we need support in many ways because I think it’s going to become worse for anybody with a medical condition
@@cjaynesxoxo69 hi Jayne , I had no choice but for my doctor to put me on Disability pension because I would be dismissed after each job I had a total of 3 jobs I had in the space of 5 yrs . I did t want to go on disability because I’m not disabled , I am quite capable of living and working normal everyday .

You are so welcome!
Hello Doctor can you make a video about what to do when you feel an aura coming??
Explained in the aura video.. But you need to get to safety if you always go into a seizure
Dr, thank you for all the knowledge you are sharing. I'm learning about epilepsy because I'm at the beginning of my journey. Greetings from Poland.👋
Glad to hear that

I can't tell without evaluating the patient. You can ask for a consult. Details in the first comment

This needs to be evaluated by the pediatric neurologist to decide
Dr how to stimulate the epilepsy patients to prevent collapse of lungs and heart ,when there is status epilepticus greater than 15 minutes? Kindly give your valuable thought???
These are two different things.. In status epilepticus you need to give rescue treatment and go to the hospital. Stimulation is just physical movement and talking
You need a rescue medicine... Nayzilam is an easy nasal spray like flonase 👍 or the ol typical Ativan..15 minutes 😳
