There are alternatives. You have talk to the Dr. About them and whether or not you’re a candidate for them. Alternatives like,
1 . Brain Surgery
2. RNS ( Responsive Neorostimulator )
3. VNS ( Vagus Nerve Stimulation )
4. DBS ( Deep Brain Stimulator
5. CBD oil / medical marijuana
Your Dr. Would want to try to work with your medication first

There are a few things that can help, but with side effects, eating a healthy diet, develop a solid routine, get enough of sleep and drink plenty of water all this plus the meds will give you the best chance of stopping them but it really is still a case by case thing.

I do take my meds for my condition, but I do my daily routine of prayer and bible study, I am a Catholic christian mix and I am not perfect and do sin, but that is my first above all that I go by, I don't know about your religion and such but that is my suggestion but your call, I stand firm in my life with.

I have tried a few things. The depth electrodes test, that proved seizures were coming from both sides of my brain 🧠. So I can’t have any more brain surgery. I have had the Vagus Nerve Stimulator for a while, the battery 🔋 was just replaced. That did help. I still take medication, some people try the ketogenic diet for help. I avoid food that are triggers for seizures, ex. Coke or Pepsi they both have caffeine in them. I don’t drink alcohol, maybe at formal occasions, get enough sleep 💤. Check out what the triggers are to avoid them. Best of luck to everyone. Peanuts 🥜
