lasting symptoms? - Epilepsy Message Board

How long can the feeling of dissociation (depersonilization, derealization, dejavu') last? As well, how long can mood shifts (sudden depression, rage, happiness) last?

SGH, I personaly have had those type of symptom last 3 to 4 days. I've read they can last a week or more. I think a lot of it depends on what type of seiz. you have, how long it lasted and even what kinds of meds. you're on. Hope this helps. Laura

For me, it depends on how hard the seizure is, and how long I sleep afterwards- if I can sleep until I wake up, and am not awakened by someone else, it lasts much less time....but otherwise, the 'hit by a truck' and "what went on" feeling can last a day or so.

After a CP, I'm just fried for a good 4 days. I can function like do laundry and wash but my memory resembles swiss cheese. It can be a problem since I'm enrolled into online schooling lol.

I hope you get feeling better. Sleep and B vitamins seem to help me get back into gear.
