The person may have warning symptoms before the attack, such as: • Fear or anxiety • Nausea • Vertigo • Visual symptoms (such as flashing bright lights, spots, or wavy lines before the eyes) TREATMENT Anticonvulsants commonly used to stabilize mood include valproic acid (considered one of the most effective), carbamazepine, lamotrigine, topiramate, and gabapentin
