My name's Sam. I was diagnosed with epilepsy in 2004-ish. Mine are complex partial seizures, and I take 500mg per day of Epilim (Sodium Valproate).

I work in motor insurance underwriting, though currently don't hold a driving licence of my own. Working on that changing pretty soon.

You all seem like a friendly, informative group so I look forward to chatting with you.

Welcome Sam. I too have complex partial seizures and take Epilim (called Depakote here). Mine have been completely controlled on 1000 mg. Do you find that yours are controlled now too?
