I have not had a problem
I just posted a similar question yesterday so yours popped up. I have found that I don’t enjoy the rides that I’ve always loved so much. I think it’s because they remind me too much of my seizures… read more
Not being able to drive
Not being able to get in some roller coasters etc
Don't worry about not being able to drive! I had seizures in cars and nearly killed myself so many times... I had to hang it up.
Hi guys,
I'm not on any medication at the moment for my tonic clonic and grand mal seizures.

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 … Stay strong in time you might be thankful 🙏 🙏
I’ve always been a big theme park fan, I loved roller coasters and exciting rides. I’m from Orlando and that was what I did for fun! I’ve taken my kids to theme parks for years.

Hi friends,
As i have been getting to know my seizures better ive noticed certain things. I tried explaining this to my neurologist, he kinda brushed me off by saying "i havent really heard of that." which isnt something i want to hear from a doctor. He made me feel a bit crazy and I left that appt feeling more confused than ever. So please let me know if you yourselves have felt this type of seizure or you have heard of this. I just want someone to validate that im not a nutcase.
I have had… read more
