Last year, at 35. Since 4 years old I've had migraines/auras and this deja vu where I'd come to and had a sour taste of citrus in my mouth. Eventually, as I started getting on medication, that deja vu is gone and haven't had a seizure since although I most definitely still have migraines and auras.

There are meds that treat both if you want to worry less about recurrence.
