What Treatment For Epilepsy? I've Been On 6 Different Meds.
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

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

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member

Barometric Pressure's Effect On Seizures
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Earlier today, a rain storm came through. Maybe a minute before this, something happened, rather not discuss it. Thought about brain tumors and intracranial pressure. When the barometer drops, ICP is higher than the pressure outside of the head. Had brain surgery, and brain tumors have the same effect- the tumor presses on the brain. Any experiences with sudden changes in air pressure?

Thanks.

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member

Me too. Exactly my experience, every word. Even what my neurologist said to me this morning, exactly word for word. He said he had deep experience with epilepsy for many years and never heard of air… read more

Why Does No One Look At Natural Medicine?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

I've been involved in natural/herbal/Eastern medicine for epilepsy (and other issues) for 29 years after giving "modern medicine" 41 out of 48 years of my life with hardly any benefit and more side effects than I could take anymore. It was out of desperation that I tried the "snake oil" (as 99.9% of the medical community still refers to it as) approach, and let me tell you, it was the BEST thing I ever did for myself! Within less than 2 weeks I noticed a HUGE improvement in my seizures taking… read more

As a child, I took Phenobarbital at night, and Tridione in the daytime. Anyone else heard of this? My new Dr.'s give me funny looks, but I know what I was taking. I was 17 when I stopped taking it.

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member

I take 145 mg of phenobarbital.

116 at night

On it 29 years

Emotional After Seizure?
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Does anyone feel really emotional or a change in their emotions after their seizure or for the next day or so?
I find I can feel quite down and sad, sometimes near crying or I cry a little. Not crying because I can't cope or that I'm upset about having a seizure, just more that I feel really down. In the past I've also felt a little angry or moody after a seizure as well.
Just wondering if this is normal and if anyone else has experienced this?
I have grand mal/tonic clonic seizures.

Thanks x
