Hi Lucy,
Welcome to the group. I had my 1st sz when I
was carrying my 2nd daughter and my 2nd sz when
I was carrying my 3rd daughter.I do not remember
what meds the Dr. gave me. My daughters are all
near 50 years of age now.
The Dr. thought pregnancy and I didn't mix so I had
my tubes tied. When my 3rd daughter was 2 I had
another sz and that took me 30 miles away to the
closest EEG machine at that time. There I found out
I had EP, couldn't drive for a year and needed to be
on meds the rest of my life.
I've been on a few meds but now have been on Dilantin
and Phenabarb for over 20 years. Everybody has to find
the med or combination of meds for them. My last sz was
over 2 years ago and before that it was 4 years.
I do suggest that you use the brand name drug of whatever
your Dr.recommends. I also suggest that you keep a diary
of when you take your meds, when you have a sz. what happens
when you have a sz, how long the sz lasts and how long it
takes you to get back to your usual self. That will help the
Dr and you to see if there is a pattern.
I have learned so much from this group. Read all the letters and
you will also.
