Hi Julie, I've been taking seizure medications since I was 10. The Doctors have never been able to control the seizures but they've cut cut them from about 20 to 8 a month. I'm in the Postmenopausal stages now. Most of my seizures come within a weeks time. At times I have a lot more auras and Fast heartbeats during those auras, they last 30 seconds and It takes up to 2 minutes to slow my heart down. The Drs. Told me not to follow the hormone replacement therapy due to developing cancer from it. I have some information from WebMd. I hope this helps.
