Me in the hospital, plus my brain waves. The brain waves segment is sped up by a factor of 10, just in case you think I've overdone the dexamphetamine.
Are the stimulants to be discontinued with the new knowledge of seizures?
Possibly; it'll discuss it with the neurologist. The seizures are actually considerably milder and less frequent when I'm on the dexamphetamine, and they tend to occur in the evening, when the dexamphetamine is wearing off, rather than at any time of the day as is the case when I'm not taking it. Dexamphetamine is a fairly selective stimulant; it directly stimulates the dopamine system, which in turn has an mixture of excitatory and inhibitory effects on other brain regions. If the seizures were originating in the indirect pathway of movement for example, which receives an inhibitory signal from the substantia nigra, which is part of the dopamine system, a moderate dose of dexamphetamine would suppress seizures in this region by increasing the inhibitory signal. Dexamphetamine begins to have a more general stimulatory effect at higher doses, so increasing the dose would eventually trigger seizures rather than suppress them, but I seem to be at a comfortable distance from that threshold at my current dose.
