rookie


I am still looking and learning. It is only since I noticed that I was having seizures again that I thought I'd take a more pro-active approach. (They only happen when I'm tired and/or overheated.) I hated it when I had treatments as a child. I would go to the doctor, and my mother and the doctor would discuss things about me. I was never asked anything. The meds made me high, and I was tripping, not having a seizure.
I was on phenobarb and Zarontin. I don't ever want to go back to meds ever again. I still have problems in thinking logically.
While I'm here, has anyone had this since early childhood, and has anyone been taunted, teased, and placed in the mentally challenged group?

Have a look: Proactive prescription for epilepsy

Stacy has had epilepsy since she was young. She has always hated anti-epileptic drugs too.
