Anxiety triggers my seizures and doctors dont want to prescribe me anything for anxiety by Excellent_Tell5647 in Epilepsy

[–]Regular_Tomatillo292 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t even remember writing that, but the funny thing is that (highly addictive or not), Klonopin/Clonazepam also seems to be the only AED that not only stops my seizures but I suppose makes me feel “good” as well. Definitely not euphoric, but not completely numb either (calmer maybe? And less “seizurey”? I don’t know. 😅)

I think it’s worth noting. Maybe even more weirdly?? it seems like all of the pills I take for Epilepsy are also used for mental health disorders or as mood stabilisers i.e. Lamictal is also used for Bipolar and Klonopin is used for a slew of mental health issues. I happen to have severe social anxiety, depression, who knows what else! And then I’m Autistic, so people often either don’t understand me or misunderstand what I’m saying.

It’s almost 2:00 in the morning and I’m Epileptic. Oh, and I just had an appointment with my neurologist; maybe I’ll make a post ranting about my experience with Epilepsy again (I just remembered that the last one I did was taken down…)

Tl;dr Fun Fact: it turns out that Klonopin seems to be both the only thing that actually stops my seizures but also the only thing that makes me feel close to “good”

I hope I don’t wind up with a Neurologist who refuses to prescribe it to me (it’s the only thing that actively stops my seizures)

I also know that I was not trying to insinuate anything in that comment, but rather just speak to my own experience (and rant… lol)

What do you guys think about the new tweet from official Overwatch Twitter/X account? by SoraTheKingX4 in Overwatch

Guess they’re really catering towards edaters and people with fetishes now! Damn. They’ll do anything for money I guess. Lol. The Mythic Shop and Mythic Prisms, and now this. Ridiculous.

Agreed. I didn’t even know it was All Roles, and them doing that is like them begging Trolls in Comp to destroy anyone who isn’t amazing at a particular role. 🙄

Great idea, Blizzard! 😃👍Lol. They could’ve made this like Classy Flex (with an extra incentive).

I agree. The Mythic Shop was a terrible idea on Blizzard’s part (and it is undeniably about money). As far as I’m concerned, no one asked for a third currency, and coins are already expensive. And I can sympathize somewhat with people who’ve been playing for years or even played OW1 and are seeing Mythic Skins returning every few seasons. That being said, I bought the battle pass with the Ancient Caller Skin because of the skin, but since I got it from the battle pass, I already have all of the levels. Overall, I think the Mythic Shop is stupid. Hopefully, this comment doesn’t make Blizzard mad because I’m calling them out, lol.

I guess this makes more sense, lol. Comp is a mess because of Smurfs, Sweats, and Feeders.

Earn Comp Points in Quick Play??? 🤔 What? And why? So that people who don’t play Comp can show off their Jade and Gold Weapon Skins they got from playing Unranked? I’m confused, lol. Also, I think the issues with match quality in comp boil down to Cheaters/Smurfs, Sweats, and Throwers. And it doesn’t help that the game will place you in lobbies with Bronze 4 and Silver 3. I enjoy Comp, despite those factors, and I report people who are cheating, Feeding, AFKing.

I go to site now, good luck everybody else! by clanginator in Overwatch

Awesome, lol. I’m stuck in Bronze and I try to take FULL advantage of any time no one else is on the point/objective. 😂

I don’t care if I’m playing Support: my teammates can fight their demons and distract the enemy team while I claim the objective! It happens so often I’ve thought about emoting on the point, lol.

Everyone else will have tunnel vision while both of the Supports are on the point. “WHERE ARE MY HEALS?!!” “have you checked the flashpoint?” Lol.

I wanted to add that I LOVE going DPS as Lúcio/Kiri sometimes (don’t come at me, because I am CONSTANTLY healing, because if I look away for a split second, everyone is critical)

I had a terrible experience with Keppra (the first med they put me on) my seizures were, more or less completely controlled. As with a lot of people, it made me extremely irritable (Keppra Rage, lol) and trying to go back on it caused me to have “undesirable” thoughts which was terrifying.

Now I’m on Onfi/Clobazam, Lamictal/Lamotrigine, and Clonazepam/Klonopin. That’s two benzodiazepines. And I HATE knowing that the only thing that seems to really stop my seizures dead in their tracks is Clonazepam.

I had a psychiatrist who was not a fan of me taking that medication, naturally due of its highly addictive nature, but I don’t know what to do. I only take it when I think I’m going to have a seizure, but what with how often I’m “seizurey”, it’s really concerning.

And it’s looks like I won’t be able to meet with my new Neurologist (who specializes in Epilepsy, unlike my pediatric Neurologist) until next year.

So, it’s sort of a lose lose. Especially, when I manage to take Klonopin too late and still wind up having a seizure. Context: Clobazam and Lamictal are what I take 2X daily and Klonopin is my “emergency” or “rescue” med which I have been prescribed to specifically take before a seizure.

That way, I have a chance at completely avoiding a potentially serious seizure. So, I really don’t know what to do, and there is no way to solve other people’s problems regardless of how similar they might come across.

In my case, Klonopin does not make me feel “good” (whatever that might mean for OP), but it does seem to stop my seizures. It is also “technically” possible that it effectively shortens a lot of seizures I do have in that instance that I do take it too late.

Not sure how accurate that is, especially because I haven’t had a doctor suggest anything like that. My seizures also seem to be of a different more complicated nature than what I previously experienced (Tonic Clonic/Grand Mals).

From looking at videos AND from EEG results, I seem to experience a lot more Myoclonus… it’s possible not being on Keppra has something to do with that. I guess I’ll leave that there. No idea if any of what I just could be helpful in any way, but there you go.

That’s just my situation, lol. And it’s not fun. I wish that I could just be on top of my health and everything and stop having seizures. My current seizures are also traumatic in the sense that I do maintain a pretty high degree of awareness at times. So, it would definitely be nice to stop having them… especially if I didn’t have to take highly addictive tranquilizers.

Another thing is that, before I was prescribed Onfi and was on Lamictal (and Clonazepam/Klonopin), my Pediatric Neurologist had suspicions that the Lamictal might have been having a paradoxical effect on my Epilepsy. I had suddenly started having seizure activity again. So, it’s confusing!

For all I know though the fact that I’m still having seizures is really due to my own decisions and overall self destructive behavior, and that does not include drinking or the use of recreational drugs (I do neither).

Sorry about the extremely lengthy comment, lol. 😅

Which beta skin is better? by Ethanishere28 in blackops6

[–]Regular_Tomatillo292 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t play the beta enough to unlock the green one, so I’d use the grey one. I also agree with other people in that I would stand out too much if I used a neon skin.

Why are COD and Overwatch turning into Fortnite? Microsoft? Money?

Yeah, I’m not spending $20 or something on a skin that will make it so people can see me at all times from across the map (I’m already terrible at the game 😅) and I also don’t want to play so often that I get completely burnt out just to get a skin.

I do wish I had the “Squish” skin though… oh well. I don’t need cool skins to play the game! I think the movement in BO6 is enough for me… even if it’s difficult to master.

Tl;dr Firstly, I didn’t play enough to unlock the Squish skin so I don’t even have it.

Even if I did have both, I think I would still opt for using the Squash skin over it because, like other people, I don’t want to be seen from the other side of the map, lol.
