talk to your nuero and GP. Depression and epilepsy can go hand in hand. My nuero had to insist on my going on Celexa so that I didn't always feel tired and out of it. She said that the treatments could be relied on or as effective if I was dealing with depression. She was correct. The Celexa worked. I didn't feel tired all the time anymore. I actually felt like I was living again and not watching life revolve around me and not taking part actively.
My problem right now is that for a year I have not had medical insurance and have had no meds. My doctor continued to refil my Celexa up until March. Now I have been off it for 5 months and I really need it again but can't affor to go in and see her to get a new prescription. I am also extremely lucky that I haven't had a bad time with my epilepsy. So glad I haven't had more than one GM seizure and that mine mostly happen at night when I'm asleep.
Don't know how much longer I can deal with epilepsy with no Med Ins. It's a frightening thought.
