I am a 19 year old female who recently experience my first seizure. I have never had seizures before, though I do have basilar migraines (1 yr). About 2 days ago, I felt really weird and decided to sit down on some steps. THe next thing I knew, I had four cops around me, and two were holding me down. I thought they were trying to arrest me, so I tried to get up, but they wouldn't let me up. They called EMS, and they came and took me to a local university hospital, which said I had a seizure. I called the officers later and they said they found me on the ground in what they presumed to be a grand mal seizure. They said my entire body was jerking and I was not breathing. They told me the first seizure lasted 6-7 minutes, I stopped, then began again for about 3 minutes. I didn't know anything as to what was going on. When I woke up, I didn't know who I was or where I was, or even worse what had happened. It absolutely terrified me. I was already on depakote (500mg per day) for migraines. My question is, is it normal for seizures to start at my age, and do they come with that kind of intensity? I am currently looking for a good neurologist because they one I was referred to refuses to listen to me. Thank you for your help and information.
