I currently on Depakote ,Zonimade, and Kepra . This combo has kept mostly seizure free. No gran -mal in 6 years. Except for when it was106 and Christin /wife gave the gift a really nice Pedicure at this place that was NO A/C . I stepped outside and collapsed. One the workers put a bottle of on my chest as I am twitching. No in surance. It took 3 years 50$ a month. . If you don't have MED-CAL APPLy at DPPS website.. Ericthom😁
