A member asked:
Eeg showed spikes and slowing. also migraines & sudden onset adult bed wetting. no diagnosis but prescribed lamictal. do you think my doc suspects epilepsy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
SOME ADVICE: Agree with advice of talking directly to your doctor and asking pointed questions. The eeg findings might be consistent with brain irritability, and you could conceivably having nocturnal seizures causing bladder problems. Ask your doctor whether neurological consultation could clarify issues, and in meantime, take your Lamictal and see how this affects the bedwetting.
