| Hi Warlan: Welcome to the board ,Nice meeting you!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am glad depkote works for you, it worked for me but wrecked havoc on my body and matablisium and hair. After 39 yrs I ran out of meds and tried homeopathy and very happy with that. I got down to one tab of mysoline and homeopathy. Eventually I became toxic on the 1 tab of mysoline and statred the Gard diet and than dropped the last tab of mysoline. 41 yrs and finally free of meds. I never believed that would happen. If you have any questions feel free to ask on the board or in a PM. Again welcome to the board!!!!!!!!!!! Riva

Reply to positive person Hi, positive person, Thanks for the warm welcome. Please forgive me if at times I seem to be talking more medical than I should. However, my vast experience and my life has often taught me to say more than I should. At times I need to tell myself to shut up and listen to others. |

Homeopathy What type of homeopathy do you use? |

| My first year on homeopathy I used Silicia. My second year the lady who took care of me stopped coming to Portland, so I took alot of books out of the library and read them, researched on the net and switched the med to treat my epilepsy and my underactive thyroid. I now take Calc. Carb I also have in case of emergency instead of taking ativan to stop a seizure I have Hyoscyamus NIG. Riva

homeopathy I am getting a bit sick of taking all my meds, with thier price and all As far as getting help, I fall between the cracks, poor enough to need help, but making enough not to qualify. |

| Well, there are some alternative therapies/treatments you can try (including diets, neurofeedback, CBT, etc.). See the chart in my signature for details.

| When I left NYC I dropped my BCBS it was 650 dollars a month for me and 550 for my husband and we just couldn't afford it anymore. I arrived in Portland without insurance and was hoping to pick it up and never did. So I went to the gp for my perscriptions for the epilepsy meds until my body had no meds left to take . Than I was looking thru the free alternative newspapaers and saw advertising for the homepathy dr and called her twice and finally made an appointment. I started my monthly treatment and never looked back. Once I started the homeopathy I weaned myself off the meds monthly. It was great not having to buy anti-epileptic drug's on a monthly basis. What a saving!!!!!!!!!! If you want alternative treatment you can look for a homeopathy school in your state so they will discount you. I did that in NYC with acupuncture and in Portland too. Wishing you the best of luck, but you must remember to pace yourself when you wean off the meds 1/2 tab a month . SLOW IS THE MOTTO. And if your body is so use too one med you may have to go for acupuncture to help you wean off it. I had to do that with mysoline.I had the shakes till I went for the acupuncture. I always found acupuncture to be very helpful !!!!!!!!!!! I also use these patches everynite on my foot to cleanse my body of toxins .

| To be perfectly honest I think you would be best to do the diet and the homeopathy. All the pple in the health food stores think that the smartest move I made combining the two. If you have any more questions you can post on the board or pm will be happy to help you out in any way I can. Let me know what you chose and how it goes. Wishing you a seizure free life and med free life!!!!!!!!! Riva
