susan,
Not sure if you are new but if you are Welcome;
I was 30 when I was dignosed (DX) with EP. I had 3 daughters,
2, 4, and 6 plus a husband(ex now). That was 47 years ago.
I have learned a lot in this group.

> Hi all,

> Just wondering if any of you have had a " breakthrough" seizure. My
> daughter had one on Saturday that sent her to the ER. Now they have her on
> her regular meds (Tegretol) 1tsp 2x a day and then a 1/2 tsp around 1400
> (2pm). It was a grand mal seizure in her sleep. I HATE those, they scare
> me so bad. If any of you have had these I would love to know. Thank you
