Hi guys,
I'm not on any medication at the moment for my tonic clonic and grand mal seizures.
I'm wanting to speak to my Dr about maybe starting Topomax.
Has anyone been on it? Any side effects? Does it help stop seizures?
Did you take topomax in conjunction with other seizure meds or on it's own?
Thanks heaps.
I Was on Topomax and it had some side effects that were tolerable β¦ Stay strong in time you might be thankful π π
This helps tremendously.
Did epilepsy end your ability to drive, work, be creative?
Thank you for sharing. I know how painful it is having to talk about it. I share the same issues. Knowing I am not alone is comforting. I'm sorry you are in the same boat, it sucks I know. π
How does anyone who is a full time parent get by with epilepsy and the fear of having one by yourself with just your child. I have grand mal and partial seizures. I'm to scared to have another child because I'm scared I shouldn't be a mother because of my epilepsy. I've recently also had brain surgery. So I have had a lot of help since my son was born.

Rolandic Epilepsy usually ends with menarche, or adolescence. My sister had it.
After I graduate university I am thinking about enlisting in the military but I need to know if anyone is already in the military or I would be wasting my time trying to enlist.
I wasn't allowed to go into the military because I have epilepsy!
Siuzures free please
I also have two sons without epilepsy. I think it is because my seizures are not hereditary. I am glad and happy to for whatever reason. Also these were not planned childbirths.
Since I've moved to Australia I've been taking generic keppra and lamictal. I took the same medicine in the USA, but I'm feeling some intense side effects from the generic medicine here. My friend that's a pharmacist said it could be from fillers that are used in the medicine. I'd pay for the name brand but it's very expensive. And then the stress from the financial strain can cause a seizure. Anyway, could there be something in the medicine that I'm not aware of?
All of my meds are in generic my insurance will not paid for brand name
I have found lately that after a seizure I am so much more sensitive to criticism and to well basically anything emotionally draining.
Am I the only one?
I'm hoping this is normal!
I feel you
