Epilepsy
Posted: 02-05-04 14:16pm

If n e 1 can help me it would be really appreciated. About 4 years ago I had a sezuire which put me in hospital for a few days. Had all the tests on the planet and nothing was found Crying
or Very sad this is reoccuring about every 3-4 months now and is really frustrating. I lost my driving license for a year and now am afraid to go back to the doctor in case it happens again coz job will be on the line. Every time I have a sezuire it is always when I am sleeping between 6am and 8am in the morning. Any suggestions on help or medication would be great. Thanks in advance.

Lamictal

Lo- try lamotrigine or lamictal. Im on that , still trying to find the right levels but its suposed to be a good drug, with less side effects than some of the other drugs on the market. Do it now, because if u just leave the problem, its just going to get worse, believe me. Ive been ignoring my epilepsy for so long , because I didnt have it bad, but now its starting to get worse and I have to cope . And it s hard. I guess because im embarresed and scared. Never wanted to talk about it.
