Re: [epilepsy] medications

 

AAAA!  This sounds all too familiar of my past two years! LOL...After a week in the hospital with electrodes stuck to my head 24/7, they monitored me and found out that I had Ep.  Depakote gave me hallucinations, bad dreams and I  lost alot of my hair.  I am  now on Trileptol, 450 x per day and I have been seizure free for 2 yrs. U  need to watch the triggers; i.e., when on cycle, after a loud concert, after being on a computer for long hours or after concentrating for hours at a stretch.  Stress is also a big factor for most people. PLUS GET PLENTY OF REST and EAT every few hours.
