hi all I'm new here ,
but not new to epilepsy I have been taking Tegretol slow release 700mg am and 800mg pm for around 15 years and I'm lucky enough to say it works for me I have been seizure free for most of that time,
What I wanted to ask people is has anyone been brought off meds successfully as my nuro is talking about bringing me off and it scares me . I love the idea of it as I truly hate taking them and the side effects are horrid ( I'm having a nasty day today feeling very ''fuzzy '' ) but the thought of having seizures again and losing my driving licence is terrifying ,
