Throughout his life he has had problems with anger and controlling the anger. His doctor has prescribed Neurontin and that seems to have helped him. People tell me that the epilepsy is an excuse, that his anger is just that and that he most likely needs anger management courses, not medicine. I want to believe it but have a hard time. Also, the Neurontin seems to have really calmed him down.
Some people become agitated and combative after a seizure, because of post-ictal confusion.
Thus, it is unlikely that episodes with directed anger are seizures. In your husband's case, there may be other information that may help sort out whether he is having seizures, rage attacks or both, and he should have a careful evaluation from a neurologist or epileptologist to determine this. Anticonvulsants are used for many psychiatric disorders, and thus a response to these types of medications do not verify or dispel a diagnosis of epilepsy.
