Seizure potential

Sun, 12/18/2016 - 00:12
Hi all! I'm new here, 37, female. No epilepsy or seizure history. Just migraines for last 13 years. Had one episode of verified a few months ago so dr ordered eeg. Final summary states rare sharp waves in temporal (mid) and polymorphic, intermittent delta activity in left temporal. Neuro broke this down for me as seizure potential. Said I should start topamax and work up to 200mg a day for seizure prevention. Thoughts? Anyone else have experience with this potential for seizures but no history of them? I can't find much online! Thanks!!
