I just thought I would let u know my story - seizure tonic grand mal the lot caused by blunt force trauma - was on larges doses of epilim and keppra seizures got worse side effects horrendous in the end I didn't feel safe looking after my autistic son so I made a massive and potentially dangerous decision to stop all meds and I started cbd oil and it was almost instant - no seizures in 13 months apart from one caused by a wrong meds being administered - I was having between 6 and 12 seizures a day! It has saved my life I hope u can incorporate it into ur treatment plan
