Hi Seashell - Welcome to you ...and your mom.
My daughter began having seizures a year ago (age 14), and the meds so far have not been of much help. In fact the side effects have caused their own issues. We are seeing that nutritional changes as making the most difference. Hard for anyone to change their diet, but especially a teen.
I hope you find other information here that can be of help.

Hi Seashell, welcome to the forum. :hello:
Stacy (my wife) used to have multiple absence seizures every day, but she hasn't had any in over a decade now since she finished EEG neurofeedback training way back when.

Hello Seashell and Mom!
I have GTC's a couple times a year or if a get really sick or stressed...and on very rare occasions I might have abscence seizures. Luckily, the frequency is VERY low now compared to multiple times\day when I was an adolescent. I've been on ton's of AED's (anti-epileptic drugs) and they all basically helped me temporarily somewhat (no 'slam-dunk' prevention) and all had uwanted side effects.
You're on the right path by doing your research!....look at everything available to you.
check out this thread Which AED's Give You the Worst Side Effects ...maybe it will be helpful as well!
This is a good site for information. Ask any questions you like!
Peace
