If the conditions are right, ANYONE can have a seizure. I had several going at on at once that probably contributed. But if I had been hooked up to an EEG, it still would have shown up as a seizure .... just no focal point.

> It is unlikely that you had a seizure from missing one dose of either of those meds. The half-life of clonazepam is way too long for that to happen, and with your dose of Trileptal, you probably still had a significant amount in your system.

There are people who pass for totally blind, epileptic, etc. until the appropriate tests are run and everything checks out as normal. When put on the right psych meds and/or when the stressful situation is no more, these people return to a healthy state. I personally witnessed this while hospitalized in another patient. It looked by all outward appearances that she was having seizures, but her EEG was totally normal.
