Does anyone no if homeopathic methodes work?

Topic: Complementary Therapies

I feel like I've been on every anti-convulsite in the world. I have been on literally seven drugs, and I'm sick of it. I'm still having seizurs, headaches, and dizzyspells. My doctor will not listen to me about my problesm, its basiclly like "I feel sick" "well your levels are fine, so you must be okay." I'm pissed off. I've been doing this for over four years. I'm ready to quit my meds and try something totally diffrent like vitamin suppliments, or homeopathicy. SOMETHING. does anyone know anything that could work, Please help. Jan Jan

Yes, there are some non-drug alternatives that you can explore. See the chart linked in my signature.

hey i was in your same position. I had tried just about every med and at one point i was on about 800 mgs of i dont even remember what med and so i contacted a homeopathic doctor in california (I live in NY) and although what he gave me didn't stop the seizures completely, he did decrease my meds down to 300 mgs and my seizures of course did decrease. right now i'm on not much of topamax and lamictal. i haven't had seizures for (knock of wood) 2 yrs. let's hope it stays that way. listen, if you want his number, private message me. he's in california and also, he's very expensive. it was a last resort but i'm glad i did it because no one likes to be drugged up on unncessary amounts of meds like that. i hope it works out for you.

I actually started with a Holistic specialist today in Atlanta, GA. She is reasonable, in my opinion. I get my regimen starting tomorrow- I will let you know how it goes, if you are interested. Thanks,

Andrea
