I have been experiencing the same thing for about 6 months. They come in clusters - once or twice a day for a few days then can go weeks without one. I can now feel it coming on and I can stop it if I am fast enough but it is also luringly pleasant (when it first starts) so I sometimes don't want to stop it. I have the same "dream" but I can't remember it afterwards. Afterwards I feel spacy and have a headache for an hour or two. It seems to happen more often if I have not had enough sleep or have been drinking alcohol. I have been taking Vitamin B1 (can't remember where I read that it would help) and it does seem to help a lot. It happened the first time when I was driving at night and was very tired. It now mostly happens after I get out of the shower and am dressing. It seems that I have now associated this activity with them and so it encourages it by association. I just had one at my computer and I already had a headache before it happened. I am putting it down to drinking alcohol for the last couple of evenings, so not sleeping well.

I am starting my 3rd month of Keppra. I haven't had any episodes since September (started keppra in October). In November i felt small triggers but weren't necessarily triggers because no episode occurred. However today i felt a strong trigger. I did not have a full episode. Today was different because I remembered the exact memory that came to my mind that caused the trigger. It was also different because I didn't have a full deja vu feeling. I didn't have the usual "slideshow images in my head of memories/dreams". I did have slight rising stomach feeling and increased heart rate. But no grogginess/foginess afterwards and No loss of memory. The reason why im only calling today's "episode" just a trigger is because of the lack of intense deja vu which usually occurs and the fact that I remember the exact memory that came to mind when the trigger occurred (usually I cant remember anything). Last week during Christmas i was very sick and didn't take my medicine for almost a week which may have been the cause of today. My 3month follow up with my neuro is in 3 weeks.

I am having the same issues and am in Periomenopaus. I am not on any birth control though. The feeling is scary! The last one put me into a migraine headache.

I've had these issues for a couple of years. Has a lot to do with dehydration Has happened after some very large nights out as well as sleeping under too hot a blanket overnight. Making sure to drink lots of water and ensuring I don't get too hot at night fixes the problem .

I have the exact sensation you are describing. This all started happening to me after a heart valve replacement from endocarditis (cat scratch fever). Have you ever found out what it was?

I am experiencing the same same thing. I have a 3-5 second flashback or deja Vu call it what you would like. I am present and aware of my surroundings at the time then this little vision pops up so clearly. I can see, smell and experience everything while it is happening then once it is over I cannot remember a thing. I am exhausted, sick feeling and just need to lay down. Once I have one I seem to have a few in the next few hours making me incapable of continuing my day.

This exact thing has been happening to me. Terrible experiences.
Does anyone on this thread take a certain medication long term that relates to anxiety or depression such as Clonazepam (Klonopin) ? This pill is actually used by some to prevent seizures. Your body may become toxic to these type medications over the years.
My chiropractor just adjusted my C1 / C2, felt great, but after describing what has been happening to me, he said he would bet all the money that it is the Clonazepam I have been taking for 5 years. After he read about it, its uses, its side effects etc.. he thinks my body has become toxic to this pill. He said the C1/C2 does not affect the front lobe of the brain at all, so the adjustment is most likely not going to change the situation. This pill I take directly relates to brain activities.
Just a thought that may be worth looking in to.
I hope everyone finds a resolution to these terrible events. I am going to start by speaking with my doctor about the correct way to stop using my pills. BTW, had a CT a couple months ago, all clear.

Hello. Wanted to let you know that I experienced the exact same thing, minus the part where I lose consciousness. Afterwards, are you really exhausted and tired?
