Another type of petit mal seizure I get (maybe this is from the meds) is paranoia:
In my own case, I'm on dilantin, pheonobarbitol and Mesasol (for ulcerative colitis) and the side effects are having a devestating effect on me. I subconsciencely over compensate, IE: When I'm driving, I seem to always be going too far to the right because I feel that the oncomming traffic is going to hit me.
If I'm walking down the street and someone is walking towards me I always get paranoid and feel uncomfortable or even if someone is in the same room as I am i get paranoid and all of a sudden the room feels over crowded, even with my own family.
All my driving is jerky (so my wife says) like fast starts, fast stops, jerky steering and generally poor judgement, and my meds have also effected my eyesight.

Randy - I never got the paranoia so to speak, but on Dilantin, I was a walking panic attack. I had never had them before, and I literally thought I was dying. Those four months were complete and total hell for me. Unfortunately, I still suffer from panic attacks on occasion now. Taking Dilantin is one of those things that I'll regret doing for a long time, but I didn't know any better at the time.

Phenobarbitol and when it starts causing parnoia its time to get off it. Wean off it slowly!!!!! Accupucnture can help you with that.
So you don't have any withdrawel systems or breakthru szs or any complications. Despite what your Dr says.
