Hi Everyone,
I'm Tanya. I'm 25 and on disability for my seizers. I've had seizers since a few months old and was just told yesterday that my Dr. recomends I go in for seurgery. I found this site by searching for information on the seurgery. Sorry about my spelling... I've been on over 6 different meds and now the 2 I'm on aren't working right. ~Tanya~

Hi Tanya :-) Welcome to the group! I'm 33 yrs. old with Complex Partial seizures. I'm only taking Carbamezapine (Tegretol). I was on Depakote before along with Carbamezapine, but that was too expensive for me to afford. As for you......wow you were on a lot of meds! Anyway, I work for a pre-school and a certain child causes me so much stress. I tell you stress, wether emotional or physical, does not agree with me 'coz I always wind up with a seizure sooner or later. Seizuregirl "Life is what you make of it"
