- Seizure Background
- I was diagnosed with Generalized Epilepsy at the age of 13( 8 years ago). Grand Mal seizures monthly, and Petite Mal daily. I was initially prescribed Depakote ER 1,000 MG daily. This medication worked very well, I was averaging 3 seizures a year, I took this for 6 years. At the age of 18, I was taken off Depakote because of the negative side effects, and damage it causes the body. (Liver damage, Weight gain, Menstrual and Fetal abnormality. ) I am now 21 and have been taking Keppra, Lamictal, and folic acid, with minimal results. I have petite mal seizures, around 30 a day, and two Grand Mal seizures monthly.
