I an 43 and have had Epilepsy since age 12.Mine was diagnosed at age 19 I have been on Klonopin since then.I have been on a 0.5 dose and a 1.0 dose.Have you ever been on Tegretol?A lot of meds have lists of side effects that scare people.Ive learned to look at side effects,go with how im feeling .I finely had enough of the tegretol and had it d/cd(discontinued)Ive neen on that since I was 19 as well.I have been " VERY " recently changed to a medication that is fairly new on the market called VIMPAT it seems to keep my seizures mopre at bay than the tegretol was .
Look up the med but trust your body and make sure the dr LISTENS to you. message me any time ok?
