Take control of your epilepsy and seizures. Seizure management has never been easier.

Managing my Seizures

Welcome to Seizure Preparedness!

Epilepsy.com is pleased to present a new layer to your learning experience - a way to learn critical information, skills and resources that will help you manage seizures and epilepsy more easily.

We know that living with epilepsy is more than just knowing your type of seizures or what medicine to take. People must learn how to respond to seizures in a variety of circumstances and situations - and be prepared to handle whatever comes your way. Living with seizures also means learning how to handle the way that epilepsy affects your life including your social, emotional and physical well-being.

Seizure Preparedness starts by addressing seizures and seizure emergencies, treatments and safety. Written for the person with seizures or their parent, guardian or loved one, it takes a practical approach to managing seizures that emphasizes preparation, prevention, and teamwork. It is built in modules or sections that you can work through one by one, or jump in and go to the areas that are of greatest concern to you. As you move along, you'll find some sections that are still being fine-tuned. Come back regularly and you'll find new sections each month!

Our Supporters

Epilepsy.com would like to thank Valeant Pharmaceuticals for their generosity in providing unrestricted educational grants in support of the Seizure Preparedness section. These grants help us to expand our mission to inform and empower patients and their families.
