I have found a new GP I have my 2nd appnt with this week to go over the medication Epidiolex. I am thinking the CBD may help although I have said I will see an Epileptologist to look into it with me.

Unfortunately, according to my own experience, not many doctors are yet up to date on CBD-based treatments for epilepsy: it's still a relatively new area for many neurologists and epileptologists.
Since Epidiolex isn't yet available in Brazil, I take the same active compound under a different pharmaceutical brand.
Out of curiosity, is Epidiolex already available in Australia?
Wishing you the very best for your second appointment with your GP!
