Symptom narrative

On 8/17/2022, I had a tonic clonic seizure around 6am. I was sleeping in bed, and the event woke my husband up. I do not remember the immediate moments thereafter as I was postictal. I was taken via ambulance to the nearest hospital where I stayed overnight. I had numerous tests including lab work, CT scan, and EEG. After discharge I then had a sleep-deprived EEG and had to see a neurologist. I was started on an increasing taper dose of Lamictal that I still take BID. I continue to follow up with the Neurologist yearly. The cause of the seizure has never been determined.
