Hello,
I have problems with Epistatus pf Medazolan which I take at epilepsy seazure.
I have seazures at night after stresfull days. As my wife said Epistatus helps and stop seazure (I can have short one or three consecutively).
But next day, weeak or two I have big problems with memory. I have problems with remembering names, numbers... everything! As I read Epistatus have memory problems like side affect, but not so long.
Have any other problems like this? Is any other medicine like Epistatus for seazure stoping?
I take also Frizium, which helps but's not so fast.
thanks for help
