Lars has been through so many meds that didn't work for him or gave him
serious side effects. Hang in there! *Something's* bound to work.

I don't know if you saw my previous message that Lars (37 years old) is
currently on three meds and has a VNS and he *still* has seizures, although
the latest one he's trying seems to be helping.

What meds are you daughter currently on? What does the neuro want to add?
Is she seeing a neuro who specializes in epilepsy? I think that's so
important - I'm a strong believer in specialists!

Subject: [Cent_Wa_Epilepsy_Support] mother of a 4yr old with epilepsy

Hi there, I am new to the group and have a 4 almost 5 yr old girl that
was diagnosed with complex partial epilepsy when she was two. It has
been hard trying to deal with the seizures and whatching her go through
them. She is on her second med and that too has seemed to stop working
and her neuro wants to start her on another med along with the one she
is on. I have not started this med yet and am taking her for a second
opinion because she feels so sick on the meds. Im frustrated and am
looking to talk with other parents who are dealing with this. I feel
alone even though I know I am not...... can anyone relate???
