I suffer from regular epilepsy seizures every 8 weeks, and for the 36 hours of my seizures i suffer every 2 hours a seizure being at it's worst half way through. At all other times of the 8 weeks I am fine.

I ran out of medicine and my doctors didn’t put in a refill until later this evening. I don’t know if should not take any medicine this morning or only the 1 out the 2 that i have.

I am not even considering getting pregnant at the minute as I am still young but I am in a steady long term relationship and it does play on my mind a lot because I do want children in the future. I was wondering what medication the doctors would put people on when they’re pregnant? I’m currently on lamotrogine 500mg per day and it seems to be working for me. Also with hormones being all over the place when you’re pregnant what are the chances of having a seizure while pregnant?

Ever since I got sick and got diagnosed with epilepsy, I've become a neat freak and a perfectionist. My handwriting is what I obsess over the most.

Epilepsy is my worst night mare I wouldn't even wish it on my worst enemy. I have had it for 2 years now and I always feel strong and that I can handle it but once in a while I just breakdown. Everyday is hard and I wish they find a cure for this disease asap because I don't want to be afraid of my own body anymore.. love you all

Hello everyone, can anyone tell me about their experience taking lamotrigine and levetiracetam together? I am starting this treatment together and I am very sleepy, weak and dizzy. Is this normal?

Hi, I haven't been on here in like a year but on August 11th I'll be having the RNS surgery and was wondering if anyone else here has had the same surgery. I just want to know how I'll feel afterward and if I'll be in pain.

I'm a film major and I have been offered the role of an art director/cinematographer for a video and I would love to accept the position but I don't want to say yes if the aftermath of my surgery will get in the way. All I would be doing is having zoom meetings with the… read more
