I'm so sorry for your experience. I dont think some folks listen to themselves. Heck, you could name call as well IF you wanted to, Im sure.
Both my kids JME aka JANZ syndrome. IF you only have Grand mals, like my 19 yo son, lamictal MAY work well for you. If you have myoclonics lamictal is not a good choice. My daughter, 16, with myoclonics, is on keppra and we are not happy with it. The side effects outweigh the positives of the drug. Please be good with your sleep and diet and that will help as well.
My 16 yo daughter posted a video on YouTube. She's discussing her dealing with E. Its not an academy award winner but I thought it funny, sad and I'm just glad she did it. Its called Epilepsy and me
