New here but had seizures young.

[vantage08]

Hey everybody my name is Brent. I started showing signs of Epilepsy when i was about five to six years old. Facial twitching and pulling were early warning signs. I then had a mild seizure when I was sleeping around seven years old. After a short hospital trip, I was placed on Tegrotal for over five years. I put on a good amount of weight during that time. I'm now 25 years old and that weight is finally coming off.

Hi vantage08, welcome to CWE!

Make yourself at home, and feel free visit the snacks table. Oh, and don't be shy about exploring and posting in the different forums.

Best,

My seizures were discovered at 3 years old so I don't really remember ever not having them.

I think I've tried every anti-epileptic drug in the book but the ones I remember being on the longest were mysoline (Primidone) Dilantin (phenytoin) Depakene (Valproic Acid) and Tegretol.

I"m still on Tegretol to this day.

Oh wow! They said that the mix of meds and puberty got me past it.
