Mine said Western meds are necessary, but she could help with side effects. She is an MD from Mainland China and knew her stuff. Not sure acupuncture helped, but she was a great person.
I been suffering from epilepsy for 15yrs but recently I became homeless so I start moving around which made it hard to see a doctor now that I'm stable I can't see one because there isn't no appointments available until 2 -6 months, I recently had a bad seizure but still can't see a neurologist. I do take medication but one of them is outdated but I can't stop taking it because I risk having another seizure, so I'm confused & don't know what to do? I call all doctors in my area but had no luck… read more
Hang in there and try and stay pos
Most meds have not worked or side effects have been extreme. I suffer from seizures that occur with no warnings - during seizures have no idea what is happening and when recovering have no recollection of what has previously happened.
TC seizures are of higher risk of doing damage especially if there pro longed.
Trying to find help and resources for repairing my teeth that I’ve broken due to all my seizures. Dentist gave me an estimate of four thousand! I’m beginning to feel really frustrated at the lack of dental coverage someone with epilepsy has in the state of California! 😔 I don’t understand why the damage and injuries from a seizure are not covered with the same insurance that’s providing my medication, or providing my disability, whichever the case you would think they go hand-in-hand, right?

Are there any places I could go besides urgent care or the ER?
Check with your County Social Services and ask them about medical assistance through your state .
When the weather is dull and cold I have had more seizures, but if its nice and sunny I find it gives me a boost to do more than I usually do.
I notice heat effects me more. I cannot be in hot tubs or in hot showers due to my diagnosis of Jeavons syndrome.
I used to have sunlight filtered through leaves triggering seizures. Had to get prescription sunglasses to wear outside, which helped greatly. I agree with what Randy said. You'll probably find… read more
If so, please tell me if they actually worked and whats the side effects? I'm only scared to take them because I was just told you can be addicted to them. And I'm far from a drug user.
I take 600 mg 3 times a day along with Topamax 2 times a day. This is the best combination that I have been on. They all have side effects but for me, on these they are minimal.
Is there a way you can list those holistic meds.
