Are you being treated? If not have your doctor refer you to a neurologist who can monitor you and help you find the right medicine. There are actually a lot of options for treatment of epilepsy (I used to work with epilepsy patients.)

If you already have a doc, perhaps you need a second opinion....

Don't worry you can definitely have a life, you just need to be properly treated and monitored to get things under control. Best of luck :-)

Depakote...I recommend a low dosage. The higher dosages made me seriously ill!

Hi ryantaylor
try to spot indicators of a seizure coming on. Then can get to safety. That helps and saves feeling so vulnerable.
Best wishes
