A member asked:

Is alice in wonderland syndrome (visual distortions before falling asleep) usually considered an atypical migraine or tle? or is the cause unknown?

Specializes in Family Medicine

How often?: I'd expect migraines to be less frequent than seizures and seizures probably would be more likely as you drift off to sleep. Does this bother you enough to take another medication everyday?
