I did go to the ER after the seizure as I had 40 minutes of unaccounted for time. They believe it was a seizure rather than mere loss of consciousness because of the condition of my mouth. It looked like I had clamped down pretty hard. I still have blisters 5 days later. I have since seen a neurologist, am on a 24-hour/30-day cardiac event monitor, and am scheduled for 3 MRIs and an EEG.
As for the Ativan, I was not on a daily Ativan regimen. It was as needed for panic attacks. I truly want to be on a regimen now though because I can never trust a panic attack again! The seizure began as an overwhelming feeling like I was going to pass out out of the blue, which is what my panic attacks usually manifest themselves as. These rushes kept coming stronger and stronger for about 2 minutes until I actually did pass out, or more accurately, start to seize and lost consciousness.
I fear that my continual detox and relapse history over the past 6 months has left me victim of Kindling.
