Clueless About Things
Posted: 06-21-06 20:14pm

Im 29 going on 30 in two months. I have been diagnosed with epilepsy since I was a baby. My problem since forever is the medication. I do bad with medication they can put me on the lowest doses wich dont completely control them but they still make me feel overly medicated what can I do and is there anything that I should do I mean sleeping all the time wont work with getting a job and im depending on ssi approving me so im not sure which is worse the seizures or being on the medication

Have you tried any of the diets? They have some success for adults on south beach or atkins for seizures. They also have the vagus nerve stimulator that helps some who have epilepsy.

I am sorry that none of the meds seems to help at all. There are a lot of meds out there, but all have a lot of sides.
