I had partial seizures due to a head concussion as a 10 year old. The doctors said I would eventually outgrown them I did. When I was tapering off cymbalta it started them back up. But when I went to the neuro she has in her opinion a high number of patients due to first time seizure activity with AD without any history. She was so familiar with AD's I was shocked. She did say that lexapro was the best one for me to try as it had the lowest likehood but that they still all had the risk. What is troubling to me was my doctor that prescribed to me didn't think or understand that cymbalta was the not the besrt one and that lexapro was the one she should have used for me. Now I have another issue to deal with if that isn't enough already going on with panic attacks and depression but now I will wake up feeling weird because I checked out for 2-3 minutes. Which was a partial seizure or absence seizure is. No one is aware of what is happening but me. I go to the doctor for help and wind up with another problem that had been dormant. All because someone didn't do their homework before prescribing a Class IV drug.
