I don't know anything about the drug. I also don't know anything about his neuro, but I've started seeing David Vossler, he's at Valley in Renton now, was at Swedish. I am really impressed with him! He's one of the top-rated neuros in the nation and all he does is Epilepsy. He also has 2 children of his own that have Epilepsy. He really has a wonderful "bedside manner", and he knows his stuff to boot. You may want to call him for a consult on a second opinion if you have questions or concerns about the advice you are currently getting. Just my 2cents, for what it's worth.
