I am 100% positive that hormones are playing a huge factor in both the frequency and intensity of my seizures but I’m not sure where to start to address it. If anyone has any suggestions, PLEASE let me know!
I started with seizures just as I was coming out of menopause at 54. I’m going to be 64 in June. All of my family and friends as well as myself think my epilepsy was brought on by a hormonal change. I… read more
Every couple of years I have seizures then my Dr wants to try something new or ups the dosage. The meds I'm on now are making me dizzy and off balance

do want to pose a question to those of you who have been on gabapentin.
Did/does the 600mg 3x a day make your head foggy/unfocused?
I've lowered my dose back to the starter dose of 900mg (1 cap 3x daily). The fog is starting to lift and I'm more alert.
For me gabapentin does seem to help better than vimpat did!
I've emailed my neurologist about taking 100mg 3x/day or at least only 100mg in the mornings. Because the first dose wipes me out! The 2nd and 3rd dont effect me so much. As it's the weekend I know I… read more

I've got complex partial seizures with identified abnormality in my temporal lobe. Seizures are focal so my neurologist said surgery is an option I should consider, but I'm pretty scared and not sure it is worth it. My seizures aren't very bad and I could still lead a mostly-normal life but I plan to become a doctor and with sleep deprivation being a major trigger for me it may prevent me from pursuing my desire to work in a hospital (which means long hours). Im not sure about the process of… read more
