    • Close Epilepsy & Seizures

      I am a 31 year old that was born with epilepsy. The ambilical cord was around my neck causing lack of oxygen to my brain. Still having seizures today. I have been told that they are (intractable) Partial Complex and secondarily generalized seizures.

      Treatments

      Depakote Working / Worked
      Was on it with the tegretol for a long time, doctor said since I was approaching the child bearing age that I needed to be weaned off of it.
      Dilantin Not Working
      Was too young to remember, I think I took it.
      Gabitril Not Working
      Not for sure if it's in the same catagory as Neurontin or not. But it did absolutely nothing for me.
      Keppra Not Working
      Had an increase in seizures
      Klonopin Working / Worked
      I guess that it's working been on it for several several years
      Lamictal Somewhat Helpful
      Dr just upped my dosage to 300mg twice a day
      Lyrica Not Working
      Had no effect at all, actually I'm allergic to it.
      Mysoline Not Working
      Felt like I had a hangover. My side was numb...AWFUL.
      Neurontin Working / Worked
      Just started it in 06.
      Tegretol Working / Worked
      Can't really remember. Been off of it for about 7 years
      Topamax Not Working
      Had no effect on me, did'nt even help with the headaches.
      Trileptal Not Working
      I think that I tried this as well, and it had no effect on me.
      Zoloft Working / Worked
      Calms me, so I don't get too stressed out and have a seizure, but how do you avoid stress?
      Zonegran Not Working
      Could'nt take it due to Sulfa allergy.
    • Close Migraine Headaches

      Started to get migraines just about a year ago. There is a family history of it, but the Dr is not sure if the epilepsy has something to do with it also.

      Treatments

      Axert Not Working
      experienced chest pain
      Voltaren Working / Worked
      So far it's been working good.
      Midrin Working / Worked
      Took it and it would make me very drowsy but once I rested for a couple hours I felt better. But the doctor wanted to put me on axert.
    • Open Dizziness & Vertigo

      Sometimes I get Dizzy spells, some are hard to tell if it's a seizure coming on or just a dizzy spell. My neurologist has diagnosed me with having dizziness problems.

      Treatments

      Sleep Working / Worked
      If I lay down for a while it will eventually go away, especially those little floaters you see that are'nt there.
