Q: med free treatment
asked by: sunnybunny on April 10th, 2008

I have complex partials. I tried Topamax but after taking the first pill I went blind for 4 days. I took Lamictal for 2 years after that. It helped some but I felt miserable all the time. I have since weaned off Lamictal and I am attempting to go drug free. I have had 6 seizures in the last 30 days. That is a big jump from what I have on the meds but I feel soooo much better in between seizures that it is worth it to me. I try to keep a routine that my body can count on. Eat regularly, sleep schedule, that sort of thing. Is there anything else I can do to help prevent seizures?

Thanks for your time!

Neurofeedback. My daughters tonic clonic seizures have all but been eliminated in the month that she has been having treatment. She is also med free due to the terrible side effects. She had vision loss with Tegretol XR.

Lamicta
How did the lamictal make you feel. I have been on it for about four years and often feel tired and out of it
