For those of you who are now enjoying seizure control....
I've heard several neurologists say that if you fail 2 meds, the chances of a 3rd (or 4th, 5th) working are only something like 2%. Has anyone beat those odds?
In our case, Jon's second drug (Topomax) worked, for 3 1/2 years, then failed. He's now been on 9 different medications, but none except the Topomax seemed to have much effect.
