Hey guys,
I've been struggling since October with Lamotrigine. I was on Lamictal for 8 happy years. Had a few seizures, mostly due to me being a stupid kid at the time (I've grown up since then). Point is...my insurance company dropped coverage for Lamictal because there is a generic version. I was initially open to trying generic, 1) Why not? and 2) Kind of felt like I had no other choice. I am now miserable. The transition was tough and lingered for about a month, and for about 2-3 months after I was feeling good again. But somehow within this past month it's been wearing me down and I'm feeling helpless again.
I'm currently undergoing an appeal with said insurance. I've been doing so much research, but I can't believe I didn't think of asking anybody on here. One of the options I've stumbled upon is essential oils. A friend of mine suggested it; she uses them herself, yet not for the same reason. I'm not one for Western medicine, but right now I'm grasping at straws. I've looked up frankincense oil and it can help with seizures and epilepsy. Has anybody ever tried using essential oils to help?
