Myself from India and my wife (21 yrs) will suddenly blank out 2 or 3 times a day only during the time of periods(4-5 days during mensturation). After consulting with a neurologist, he said it as Complex Partial Seizuer(catamenial seizure) and prescribed Oxetol 150mg on morning and 300mg on evening. Also prescribed to have frisium 5mg during the time of periods. 1) How long she needs to take medicine? 2) Does it have any side effects? 3) Does it affect pregnancy? 4) Will it be cured completely? Thanks to ChatDoctor .
HIT hank for asking to ChatDoctorYou said it is \"black out\" while the doctor called it \"Catalonia seizure\" let me tell you something, the seizure means the epileptic attack which means tonic and colonic movement of limbs either upper or lower or all four together, frothing from mouth typical screaming of patient before attack (Aura phase) passing of urine involuntarily, in severe attack tongue also get bite, is this kind of symptoms did you see ? If not then this is not \"Catalonia seizures\" and if yes, then she has to be on Chat Doctor.
