Appointment

So. I went to my appointment today, and they said I have Generalized Seizures, and ny doctor didn't want to call it Absence Seizures. He says it's Atypical, and that it's probably genetic, but one of my parents says that they don't know anyone in they family with Epilepsy. I'm starting Lamictal today. Does anyone know if Lamictal is a good option? Please share your feelings about Lamictal please. You don't have to, just wanted to keep the public, and silver of my friends updated on my current status.

It will work a little or it won't work. Keep a written diary so you can slowly figure out what it does/doesn't do/possible side effects and so on. Best wishes.
