When I decided to have a child my seizures started when I had gotten pregnant they started I had them everyday some were grand-mals. After I came out of the grand-mal seizures I had gotten a bad headache.
I been in and out of the hospitals everyday because of my seizure I had more than one seizure. I didn't know when I was having one my daughter had to tell me she even pulled me from the middle of the street and called for help.
I was on much medication that the medications I was on didn't work I kept having seizures. I was a canidate for brain surgery I had to have two in 1996.
I am taking Lamictal 300mg twice a day I also take several other medications along with my Lamictal.
