Epi Still

Mon, 10/04/2010 - 23:04
Was just wondering if anyone has ever heard of or tried an herbal med I've found called Epi Still (I thnik I spelled that right)?  I recently tried going from two meds (Teg. Xr and Keppra) to just taking Keppra.  At first it was great... I felt better and had energy but then by about day 10 I had a seizure in my sleep and woke up shaking.  After that, me and my neuro both agreed to go back on both meds.  With that all the other side effects (tired, dizzy, drousy, hungry all the time) came back.  At one point I thought about canabas, but I'm alreaady tired and really don't want to do that.  That's when I started googling ulturantive meds for epilepsy and found Epi Still.  Again I'm a little nervous becauase I really don't know anything about it or how it works.  My long term goal is to be on monotherapy.  Any input or feedback about this would be great.  Thanks.
