I think that I'm ok with the meds my doc has me on, I do see her about 2 times a year, and a occasion for a booster for covid, but I do get decent sleep and exercise i do, my favorite is my doing my daily routine of prayer and bible study, that is 1st with me and my answer here, I am not perfect and do sin, but that is how I go about it,

Move to the country, eat a lot of peaches. Lol

I believe most of my seizures would stop if I move back to the country away from the city.

I was healthy as well for 17 years. I am now on 2 medications, but my doses are both on the high end. I have never really had side effects from my medications except sleepiness for a few days after dose increases.

Mom was Italian strict bout using aspirin even. But not when my epilepsy diagnosed if any said too bad has to be on drugs said "You shut up dont know what you're talking about should be glad she has them to help"! That was 50yrs ago never a prob just glad we finally know how to explain & treat like any physical health issue.

Until I was 12 and started taking seizure medicine I never took any meds either but as the years went on I had to take more and more meds. I guess you just need to get used to it and consider it as part of your life.
