[epilepsy] New to this

 

Hi,
 
I was just currently diagnosed with seizures a month and a half ago. My EEG came back normal but they did find a small lesion on my frontal lobe. I seem to have seizures where I completely pass out and shiver/twitch or I have seizures where I just kind of zone out for a few seconds then I either go back to what I was doing or I just fall asleep. Currently the doctor has me on Keppra XR (500 mg) at night and they did have me on 1,000mg but the side effects were unbearable. I am still having some side effects on the 500 mg and I am still having seizures. I know I am supposed to call my doctor to let him know that I am still having seizures but he just makes me feel some uncomfortable. So I guess the short of it is I am looking for any recommendations for a good neuro near the flint area. Just want a doc who does not treat me like I am a complainer.
 
Thanks
Amy
