Hi I am 28 years old and have been dealing with seizures my whole life. Yeah it does suck and I have been taking 20 different meds from age 12 to 27. I am on two meds now and they work like a charm. I did take Lamictal but that didn't work for me. Now I am on Keppra and Dilatin. They work for me but you never know if it will work for you.
And been depressed since I been diagnosed!!
I have seizure dianosed on 12-12-12
Hi!
The smell could be phantom smell or olfactory hallucination. It can be a part of temporal lobe epilepsy. If lamictal is not able to control this, then some other drug can be tried in combination. If you have headaches, then this can be aura of migraine. It can also be a early sign of schizophrenia. It can also be due to a problem in olfactory receptor mechanism. This could be due to a smell getting trapped by nasal polyps or tumors. Sinusitis with post nasal drip can cause both a phantom smell and nausea and this should be investigated first by an ENT. A psychological examination may also help. Sometimes, such smells can be due to hormonal disturbance in pre-menopause, so take a gynecological consultation too.Take care!
