Partial complex seizure

Go to the emergency room or call the local emergency number (such as 911) if the seizure lasts longer than usual for the person. In addition, repeated seizures are an emergency situation if consciousness or normal behavior is NOT regained between them. (This is called status epilepticus.)

Call your health care provider if this is the first time the person has had seizures, if this is a new type of seizure for the person, or if any new symptoms occur, including possible side effects of medications:

• changes in mental status (drowsiness, restlessness, confusion, sedation, or others)
• nausea/vomiting
• rash
• loss of hair
• tremors or abnormal movements
• problems with coordination
