I have been diagnosed with epilepsy since I was 8 years old and I am currently 18. I have heard from doctors time and time again of alcohol's dangerous effects on people with epilepsy. I have only had about 5 or 6 seizures since then which occured at times when I was either not on any medication, being taken off my medication, or switching from Depakote to Lamictal. As I am finishing up my senior year of high school, getting ready for senior week and prom, and about to go away to college I am finding it more and more difficult to stay away from alcohol. It is mainly a curiosity factor. I just can't stand not knowing what it is like. I am posting here to get some feedback from others who may have experienced this or similar situations and was wondering if it might be alright to drink it up for one night.
I don't know if this info is useful or not but I am 6'4 and about 210 lbs. and currently taking 1000 mg of Depakote ER daily.
