hello everyone - I just need to vent. March has really been a crazy & a hard month for me. Here it is April for me to look forward to now. I had been having...
A couple of months ago, my daughter had three seizures for the first time (she's 11). They occurred either first thing in the morning or a couple of hours...
Dear Tia, Hugs to both you and your daughter. Our son Seth has been on Topamax for about 2 years now. It has helped his seizures tremendousy. He is is also...
My son is only 6 months old and started on Topamax 2 weeks ago he is also on Keppra. I just spoke to the neurologist today because he is not acting like...
I get bad acid reflux on Topamax to. As an adult, I can just take a
medication for this. It is odd his Neurologist would want to lower his med
levels when...
I'm set to have an EEG on April 26th. I'm wondering how many of you had "NORMAL" EEG's before being diagnosed? For some reason I don't seem to have a lot of...
Hi! I'm Rhonda,47, and I've been taking Topamax for several years now with no serious problems. I participated in a study with my Neurologist and started...
My Daughter was diagnosed a year ago and she had an eeg that came back normal. Actually she had one abnormal and one normal. They went by the different...
Ashley, Sorry you've had such a tough month. I haven't been online for a while but I won't bore you with that lol I did want to "give my two cents worth here"...
Just to make things clear - when I said I am having surgery it is has nothing to do with me epilepsy/seizures. This surgery is a totally different subject....
I've had a lot of normal EEGs even after being diagnosed. The EEG is not a
full proof test, although many Neurologists depend on it to be. Sadly
enough, many...
Ashley, I myself do not have seizures BUT my 15 yr old daughter does, and once she started her periods we started having Catamenial Sz. She is on BC pills, ...
I was only recently diagnosed with epilepsy but as far as i can go back into my medical files i have the same abnormality on my graphts (the first i have is...
Hi Ina, Just because all of your EEGs are abnormal does not necessarily mean that
they are all the same. The way they are read by a professional will...
Tia, My daughter (age 9) is also on Topamax. She was started on Triliptal, which was wonderful until she had a severe reaction to the medication, at which time...
If I may ask,what role does corn syrup play? Sorry I guess I missed something I take 500mg of topamax daily along w/500mg of keppra twice daily.I have alot of...
I fell on Sunday and shattered the bones in my left wrist. I am Sheduled to be opened up tomorrow @ 2:00 they are not sure if they are going to do the work...
Hi my name is terrie. You can get off that medication. I was able to get off my meds. but only take 100mg XR Tegratol now. I was on 1000mg XR tegratol a day...
Thanks, Rebecca for your reply. Like you, I think I'd rather keep the medication dosage low if possible. My daughter is on 175 mg of topamax/day which seems...
I guess I should've asked this in my last post. Like I've said before, my 11 y.o. daughter, who has recently had partial seizures or tonic- clonic seizures for...
I've heard of things like this being a seizure aura-feeling like things are odd, or a change in the way you usually percieve things. This doesn't preclude it...
Yeah, Auras are odd to say the least, that is for sure. When I have one, it
all depends upon where I am. Feelings from the past will crop up, I guess
due to...
Yes my Auras also change the way I perceive things. It gives you a different outlook on life from the time you start to experience the Auras that I take. When...
My son is taking CURRENT MEDICATION as of 03/29/07 Keppra 750mg (3)tablets x BID Depakote ER 500mg (1)tablet x pm Lexapro 20mg (1)tablet x pm Baclofen 10mg...
Well, whatever it is, I just tell my daughter to sit or lie down, take deep breaths and let it pass. It must be a really odd sensation, though. I'm going to...
I think it has to do with the medication because I thought a person doesn't know when they are having a seizure. Does the neurologist know why your daughter...
Mandy, You may hear some of us "complain" about some of the different types of problems we have with Auras, however, not everyone is blessed with having an...
Hi Mandy, No, we don't know why she's having seizures. She's having an MRI done next week and whether this will show anything or not .... I understand in a...
