glad I could help. Not everyone even knows what Epileptologist are , or have heard of them.

EjParker is right on . Epileptologists is the best way to go , if you can find one in your area. I have one myself. They understand our disorder better than a normal neurologist . You could also call the Epilepsy Foundation in your area and they might be able to help.

I Too have have that trouble . Most of it are the side effect from the Meds we're using . I myself , am groggy when I wake up. I'm so groggy that, I'm catching the wall to keep my balance until I reach the other room and sit down. Mine lasts up to an hour until I'm fully awake and can walk straight.
