I'm 15! But I live in the US. I've had epilepsy since I was 9 and it's rough! It interferes with school (the meds slow me down so much) and social life, sports, etc. I'm turning 16 in 11 days, and I wont be able to get my license :( Having so little freedom is hard. But it's good to know that there are other teenagers on this site!! Itd be great to see how others are dealing with epilepsy.

the freedom stuff sucks but in the end you find out who your true friends are and hey,you don't have to worry about paying for a car or petrol for a while so you have time to save for other stuff :3

They said it was normal, thankfully. I still can't believe they changed my medication though. I was on Keppra for 5 years and it was going well, but randomly this year "we're switching you to lamictal". Greeeaat :(. Does Lamictal make you twitch? I've noticed that since I've started the medication, I tend to twitch alot.
