I have a neurologist. He prescribed Limotrigine.
He is very responsive to my questions. My wife and I are working on a list of questions to e-mail him this evening. Among them is if my idea of the name of the seizures is accurate, what supplements might help, and his thoughts on memory loss caused by Lamotrigine.
I would appreciate ideas for additional questions for him.
Thank you,
Bruce

If interested in diet treatment ask about

The modified Atkins diet
The low glycemic index diet

Maybe ask if another medication would cause fewer memory issues
