@tlb101175 , Good Morning
I'm so happy to hear your son is doing well. 🙏
Indeed, there are lots of people with epilepsy on Depakote, as your son's doctor mentioned — including several of us here in our group.
I have temporal lobe epilepsy with mild mesial sclerosis in my left hippocampus, and I also face some cognitive issues, which I've learned to manage with the support of my neuropsychologist.
By the way, this could be a great new discussion to start in our group. The subject comes up scattered across many different threads, but doesn't have one of its own. What do you think about starting a discussion specifically on cognitive issues people with epilepsy face and how they cope with them?
And speaking of coping strategies — how has your son been dealing with his cognitive issues, and what has he adopted to better live with them?
