The other day I remember my parents telling me I had a seizure. Apparently, I had been told several times already and even asked my name, the president, what year it was by paramedics and I had no clue the answer to any of these. I have no confirmed idea as to what caused it, except a combination of epilepsy and recreational use of nitrous oxide (dont ever use this substance recreationally…highly addictive and harmful, it is called hippie crack for a reason). I tripped on some mushroom tryptamine gummies about 24 hours before and I dont know if that contributed as well. Also drank that night. But I blame the nitrous. However, this is not my first seizure and I have had others-not on nitrous though. I used to be low key addicted to nitrous and I had many symptoms of functional B12 deficiency(which is super super bad for your nervous system) but got interested in it again because I will be put on probation eventually for DUI and this substance doesnt show on a drug test (and neither do the mushrooms on a standard panel). I hate epilepsy and I now have a healthy hatred for nitrous oxide. Honestly, despite waiting over a year to do nitrous again, I still had the same tolerance I left off with. It never felt like the first few times again. I know that sounds cliche, but it is true. Dissociatives like nitrous or ketamine cause permanent tolerance when abused.
One minute I was doing nitrous, the next thing I remember is coming out off post-seizure confusion, being told I was hypoxic from the seizure as I wasnt breathing properly, and not even knowing who I was and with paramedics and fire asking me questions. Apparantly I was told that nitrous causes seizures. Good thing I was reminded, because I dont remember that and now I know it is very bad for me to do.

Hello,
I am sorry about what you have been going through. I would talk to the doctor about what you have been going through and if they do not help, I would look up epileptologist and tell them about what you are going through and they will be able to help you out. If you don't know any, I would Google epileptologist doctors near me. Hope you will be okay soon.
