Answer #1

You need to bring this to your doctors attention - when taking a medication you should be looking out for things like this and report them back to whoever prescribed it so they know. So call him/her today and let them know.

Answer #2

Steph is right about discussing this with your doctor, for your piece of mind, if nothing else. However, this type of forgetful freezing is not uncommon with epilepsy. It is called an absence seizure, and also referred to as a ‘petit mal’ seizures (from the French for “little illness”). So don’t worry, but definitely let your doctor know. Good Luck!! (And sorry it took me so long to get back to you.)
