had right temporal lobectomy 2.5 years ago now. Milder form of seizure beginning to occur. But most important be aware of the personality disorders you may go through. No one tells you about the manic depression many of us will go through the rest of our lives . Simply be prepared for it. Youll be on top of the world for awhile and when it comes crashing down its rough. Worst is that your neurologist wont even mention this common change. be aware but dont let it stop you.

I am so glad I am not the only one that has severe depression after the surgery. Has your doctor prescribed any anti-depressants? I know my MD has me on one and it does help me. So where did you have your surgery done?Rochelle
