Hi Julie,
That's fantastic you are seizure free and off your meds! That really is fantastic! My Drs. brought up taking a year to get off my Keppra. Then slowly reduce my Trileptal to a certain point but keep taking it at a lower dosage. Since surgery, my life has changed so much in a positive way! That much so that I choose to stay on all my meds. to increase the chance of me staying seizure free. Just one seizure in time would change my life back to where it was. Sure, that is always a possibility anytime, but if I can use the meds. as another safety guard to increase my chances of being seizure free. I will take them (smile)! Again, congratulations being seizure free and med. free (smile)! Take care, keep a smile on your face!

> > After my surgery on 7/11/01, I was joyful as I knew God answered my prayers in the time before I decided to have the surgery. He also guided me though everything as he says so in his word. Psalm 32 vs 8, Proverbs 3 vs 5,6. Jesus also said to ask anything in his name according his will and he will do it. I knew all of that before my surgery and I never forget it. When 1 to 3 months after surgery went by I was told that I needed anti-depressents because I was still in the joyful state of mind as I knew 3 months before my surgery I was going to make it through the surgery and be fine. The doctors then said before my surgery that research proved that people with faith in God do have a higher percentage of making it through the tough trials and procedures like brain or heart surgery than those who do not have any faith in God. Since I proved that to them, I asked the doctors when they wanted me to try Paxil, Why can't
> > you let God handle things from here on out ? They of course said that God can't always control everything on how the brain functions. I said WHAT ? I told then God is in control of everything so I would not need Paxil. It got to the point where they insisted I took Paxil or else I may have more problems in the future if my seritonin levels were not balanced just right. I asked then How do you know they are not right ? They could not tell me that one way or the other. So I was at the mercy of the doctors and their fears of what could happen to me instead of just trusting God from tat day on.. Against my beliefs & will I took the paxil. What a mistake as I remembered the TV ads in those days. FELL BETTER THAN YOU EVER FEEL IN YEARS !!!!! FEEL LIKE YOURSELF AGAIN. Oh believe me I felt like I never did before in my life. I could not sleep. ''' it's to help you sleep better''. I had weird dreams one after the other as I took LORAZAPAM to help me sleep. I
> > had more auras as I had not had since surgery. I was frustrated all the time, I was anxious and a nervous wreck. Five months after surgery I had my 1st Grand Mal event that the doctors said was a non-eplieptic seizure due from the brain not healing right. Whan I heard that that was when I went off the PAXIL on my own, knowing it may had been the cause of that non-epileptic event I had on 10/1/01. No foods caused that one.
> > For the following 4 months I was off the PAXIL I felt 100% better as I knew I was not having that junk in my system and that God was taking care of it all for me. When I went back to the doctors I told the cheif neurologist what I did and why I did it. He said I went off of the medicine for the opposite reasons I should had stayed on it. I asked him if i were to live forever with taking the Paxil and feeling that way all the time and he said No. He did tell me to try it again and if I felt the same way to go off of it, that I may had been put on it to soon after the surgery. So I did and everything was the same. I e-mailed the docotr and told him the same things as I went off of it again and he said ok, we'll not worry about Paxil for me.. I told him then with God who needs paxil or any other anti-depressent ? of course I got no answers from him, yet they all believe God can help in other ways & things. I believe God helps in ''all things'' if you
> > allow him to prove it to you. These anti-depressents are only made for people to put trust in a pill rather than the one ond only power who can make a super natural difference in you're life that is not fake. Drugs might help some while your on them, but if you can not afford it/them and have to go off of a drug or drugs, what then will help you ? Sure I get depressed but I do not worry about things like I use to. Maybe that's because the lesion I had was at the emotional part of my brain when it was removed or maybe it is because of God through his eternal son Jesus Christ who can make a difference in a persons life. All I know is drugs are not always the answer but God is. You don't have to test me and second guess this what I typed here. Challenge Jesus instead and he may give you the peace you need. I'm ready though as I have Gods Armor on ready for the attacks. God at times has ignored me so I may try to act like him if it is required.
