I am looking for advice. I have been very fortunate in that I achieved a long time off valporate and being seizure free(14-15 years) I had a seizure in February and now in a dilemma re going back on medication. The neurologist suggested considering lamotragine as I have 3 kids and am used to driving and I surf and cycle a lot. However I am in recovery 13 years from drug addiction and like being chemical free. I know this is a luxury that I may be can't afford.
My questions are as follows...
Is it possible that being on a low fat diet for high cholesterol caused this after so long?
What diet would minimise risk of recurring seizure?
Does a 1 in 15 year chance of seizure merit risks of AED? What is people's experience of lamotragine?
How common is racking up that amount of seizure free time?
What would you do in this situation? As you folks know more of the facts than most of my mates and family and me!
Thanks, as I feel lucky that I haven't had any others since Feb and know it could be a great deal worse.
