I had my first tonic clonic seizure at age 52. Three months later I had a second one. My neurologist over dosed me on gabapentin to the point where I could not walk. I found another neurologist who lowered my dosage by two thirds. I have been with him for 18 years. I am now taking phenytoin. In talking to him, I found out I was having "seizures with aura" my whole life. No one recognized it. My question: are seizures with aura the same as absence? I always had a funny taste in my mouth when the seizure ended. I love watching your videos. You explain everything so masterfully. If a 70 year old high school graduate gets it, you are exemplary at explaining the very complex workings of the human body. Thank you.
I had a similar experience; apparently I've had focal/partial seizures since I was a kid, but I wasn't diagnosed with epilepsy until after my first tonic-clonic as an adult. Absence seizures are different than seizures with an aura. They are a type of primary generalized seizure with complete loss of consciousness and don't come with an aura, so there's no "warning sign". According to my epileptologist, my "auras" are focal sensory seizures (previously called simple partial seizures). If the seizure activity spreads, my sensory seizures will turn into motor seizures with impaired awareness (complex partials) or even secondary generalized tonic-clonics. The type of sensation is based on the area of the brain affected. I have left temporal lobe epilepsy, and at the start of a seizure I'll get a strong sense of deja vu, then a feeling of unreality, and then a weird stomach-drop feeling combined with a rush of tons of different emotions. Sometimes they spread, but sometimes they end there. Sometimes though I'll feel "off" for a few hours or even a day before I have a seizure, and some people call that a "prodromal" feeling. I have no idea if that's actually seizure activity though, and I don't always have a seizure after that weird feeling. But when I had my EEGs that showed up positive for seizure activity, I felt a mixture of that prodromal feeling plus a very mild sense of that deja vu etc that I get at the start of a seizure.
No, an absence seizure is a seizure type. You can have any type of seizure with an aura or not. For example an aura for me before a tonic clonic is feeling like throwing up. You should check that med, phenytoin is pretty old and not really good. It messes with your memory. I felt so drugged when I was on that. There are better more modern meds.
So useful, as a pharmacy student I can guarantee epilepsy is by far the most difficult chapter for the 1st semester because there are many drugs, many mechanisms of action and most probably more than one drug is required for the same type of epilepsy, not to mention how they interfere with the CYP450 and blood plasma proteins for drug-drug interactions... I Would really appreciate if you also made a lecture on antiphycotics!
I am about to sit my final exam to qualify as a neuropsychologist and I cannot thank you enough for your videos. The enthusiasm and joy you have bring the material to life. It's helped me massively in consolidating my learning. Thanks so much!

Thank you for free lovely lessons, I know this is really hard work. However I would still like to see you guys in this channel. Please don’t give up, you guys are in some way indirectly saving human lives ❤
amazing videos with amazing content well explained. a Kenyan student pharmacist and I really gain pharmacology content by watching ninja nerd videos. Murphy you are great.❤
Sir with due respect , thank you so much for making medical studies so easy for us. It's hard to understand everything by just studying textbooks. You're channel has helped me so much to cope with medical school. Hope to get more good contents from your channel.
Hi, I am a medical student in grade 3 from Turkey, İzmir and ı need to say THANK U A LOT. Videos are running parallel to our lessons meaning with time and subjects. We just saw epilepsy and the drugs about it :d . I always recommend my friend about you and your channel. I hope everyone is enjoying it as much as I am about videos.
Dear Ninja Nerd, aka Zach Murphy. I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for all the amazing work you do. Your knowledge and passion inspire many, including myself. It means a lot to me to have the opportunity to learn from you. I also have a question: would you consider creating videos on the topics of "antipsychotic drugs," "drug abuse and dependence," and "psychoactive drugs"? I believe they would be incredibly valuable for many of us.
@@brotherxela5085 No. I was on Carbamazepine, Valproate, and Phenytoin since I was a few months old until I was 19. Also Depekote 12-19 Y/O. When I switched Neurologists he noticed the early signs of kidney and liver issues so he weened me off everything except Carbamazepine. 12 years ago (age 40Y/O) my Neuro weened me off Carbamazepine. So far I have stayed seizure free.
@@brotherxela5085 Due to decades of medications the effects of the meds still have effects on my gum tissue (probably for the rest of my life) I still have all my teeth. I sill have occasional migraine headaches however I call those fair tradeoffs for a "normal" life.
This might have been the best video I have ever watched. I am just a patient that no doctor will listen to so I have had to become my own patient advocate in learning the mechanisms of so many things. Thank you so much for bringing so much good information in a way that was very clear and understandable. You have given me tools to be a better advocate for myself. Thank you.
Thank you so much your video ! As a RN, you help me so much to understand why providers prescribe different seizure medications for different seizure. Please continue your work ! You are the best !

As someone with epilepsy thank you for allowing me a way to understand my condition 👌🏾 now I can I explain to people and sound smart b/c I know what I'm saying 😎
if one day i'll finally finish my med school, i'd be so thankful to you for giving me such a clear and great videos. i cant make it this med school w/o you zach
As a Nurse Practitioner student in Australia, I read all of my course work, but your videos are fantastic in helping me to consolidate my learnings. Appreciate it all. Neurology and Psychiatry this week :), Cheers Wendy
For years I have been wanting to understand the whole picture related to epilepsy medication. I cannot tell you the number of medical appointments wanting to understand more….leaving frustrated.. You just gave me that understanding, and now I feel equipped to be able to make a better selection on medication for my person with refractory epilepsy. I cannot express my gratitude. Thank you Zach, you are making a difference. All the best back to you.
Hi,I am a MBBS graduate from India, currently preparing for my post graduation. Your details video are really great for understanding the core of the topic. I can't thank you enough for it. I have a request that if you start a series on rheumatology that would be great for students like me, rheumat is very tricky and it would be great to learn from you. Thank you
I’ve been having refractory seizures for 26 years and this was so interesting, thanks a lot. I’m going to your channel to look for videos about the vns and rns that I have now.
You are absolutely Amazing man. I wish I had better words to just explain how easy you make these topics for me. Am able recall almost everything taught after watching a tutorial. 👌👌👌👌💪💪💪💪. THANK you. Keep it up🎉
I felt that you were uncomfortable and upset about something... In this video i didn't find the joy in your eyes like i used to,i felt something went wrong ...we love you so much...god bless you ❤
As a medical writer, I’m working on a white paper on 2nd generation antiepileptics blood testing. The neurology series and this video are SO helpful, as are all of your videos in other topics that I’ve watched as review for other topics. Thank you so much for all of these! As a subscriber, I also really value the illustrations and study notes. I have one requet, though. Could you make the illustration templates available as PowerPoints? It would be so much easier to take paperless notes in that format. You can still copyright protect in this formst.
Sir,prior to exam,when I get the final call to learn,ur videos never disappoint me. Thank u for being out there for us when medical books appear greek❤.Love from INDIA 🇮🇳
A year ago I caught West Nile Virus, developed spinal meningitis and was unconscious for 21 days. I was taking levetiracetam to successfully control epilepsy. Could the epilepsy be an aggravating effect to the spinal meningitis? I’m now back on my feet and all is well. Bravo!
Excellent info. Better than the 4 neurologists have provided. Diagnosed at 27 and now at 59, I’ve been through all the Na channel blockers. Carbamazepine was my first and worked the longest followed by lamotrigine. I’m now on cenobamate which seems to work great which addresses GABA activity and is a Na channel blocker. Topiramate had the enjoyable side effect of kidney stones - not my favorite.
As a final years pharmacy student, I am revising all the pharmacotherapy through your videos!! I cannot thank you enough for your amazing videos
a question, I thought that felbamate is nmda blocker not ampa...

Carbamazepine and valproate have been major game changers since the early 1970’s. I’ve been in remission for 40+ years thanks to these meds.
