Hello, the symptoms you described are not concerning, seems to be mild, and the head pressure doesn't have any "red flags" or like worry signs.  I f you are a person who really worried about health to be reassured you can have a brain MRI.  a carotid doppler in a young person doesn't show anything.  other vascular imaging will be normal most likely. 

You can however don’t give your lamictal to your sister as this has to titrated . I believe you are thinking is better to take something rather than having a seizures while off medications and I agree

This is a normal eye movement with draws I was and sleep.

Good morning, I am so sorry you are facing with health issues at such a young age.  To answer your question, i don't suspect you have serotonin syndrome based on the symptoms described or at list not as severe as i ma seeing in the hospital with altered mental status, rigidity, fever etc.   But, one problem which scares me is using non-prescription drugs.   Not everyone acts the same to them and looks like you are one of them.   It may make you feel well at the time but then you will try something else or more and enough to cause a disaster.  Could be just the combination of drugs at that time, or simple poor hydration and even nutrition and again, can be catastrophic.  It breaks my heart when I am consulted to see patients your age and I have to let the family know they will never be the same.   You have to follow with your psychiatrist and try different medications to help - Lamictal is a good one, Trileptal is also very good.  Clonazepam as need or how was prescribed is very good. And try mediation, yoga, physical activity , go for a run when you are sad, look at the birds, nature, make you boyfriend do the same.   Smile and find the inner power to help yourself.  I am confident that your doctor loves to help you.  Just recognizing your symptoms and trying to find a way to help yourself is the key to win this battle.  I had patients telling me they loved psychotherapy; i have the website - no interest in this as i am not related but at list you can check it out.http://www.brightohypnotherapy.com  and email is brighto@icloud.com  Have a wonderful day and Merry Christmas , Dr Kiliment Neurohospitalist 

Good morning, I am very sorry to hear about your head injury.  To answer your question, no, you will not die.  Head trauma is not unusual in day to day life, it just happens. luckily the skull is very thick and protects the brain well.   Headache is not unusual and usually gets better with over-the-counter medications, sleep, relaxation, hydration.  I hope my answer offered you some reasurance.  Iuliana Kiliment MDNeurologist 

Hello ,  I am so sorry to hear about your disability.  9 years is a long time and I am afraid damages are permanent. I dont know the cause of paraplegia if it because of a trauma or tumor or demyelination but usually the patients recover to some extent during the first year from diagnosis.  There is no treatment available.  Please take care and be strong as you have been I am sure  Iuliana Kiliment MDNeurologist  Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone
