Epilepsy or seizure disorder? Why stroke?

I strongly suggest talking to your neurologist about changing your meds, do your own research and don't be afraid to quiz your doctor. Use a board-certified neurologist if possible; seizures are not a PCP issue.

I dealt with serious depression caused by my seizures and side effects of meds. It wasn't a "one drug solves all" situation for me, it took years before my doctor found the proper mix of Lamictal and Trileptal.

Stay positive by telling yourself this is only temporary, you will get better.

Thank you for your response. I’ve used this neurologist since 2013 and do like him but he isn’t a specialist. Not one here I don’t believe. I am going to talk to him next visit, and before I take anything else will check it out.
