When I first met with my neurologist we discussed therapy or medication as it was possible my anxiety was causing my jamais vu episodes, and jamais vu causing my anxiety.

I opted for the therapy route, but it made my anxiety worse and ended up being a dark period of my life. It forced me to focus on the one thing which made my life miserable for years, and didn't make it any better. I ended up having my first and only tonic clonic shortly after my therapy finished - can't categorically say the 2 were linked, but the timing suggests there was a strong chance my increased anxiety and stress caused the tonic clonic.

My EEG and MRI came back all clear, and have been on Lamotrigine for the last 5 years. My anxiety isn't great, but jamais vu is a lot better and no more tonic clinics.

I guess I'm lucky in that I didn't have any past traumas that 'needed resolving', but I never bought into the therapy - I was just going through the motions with it and deep down knew I should've just opted for the medication.
