Lamictal

[Hann95]

I'm 19 and have been epileptic for 6 years, I have tried a variety of medications including keppra (giving me suicidal tendencies) and a couple of others which didn't control seizures. I have always been on Lamictal, which is slowly being increased after any fits or 'episodes' until the right dose for me is reached, in conjunction with this I also take Ethisuxomide, a drug that has worked well in controlling my absences. I HATE being epileptic, as I cannot drive and full fill the career path I wish to take. I wanted to sign up to these forums to welcome any questions on lamotrogine, share any stories or side effects as I know myself it's a little hard for other people who don't have epilepsy to understand how it can effect you from time to time! However my question to others is... Does epilepsy as you get older slowly get worse? As I know each seizure kills more brain cells?

I understand how you feel. I was once in your shoes myself. Having seizures and being epileptic has been very frustrating and embarassing. At a point, I almost commited suicide when it got so bad in high school.
Not until I met Dr. Henry. He placed me on a 3-week herbal treatment.
Right now, I'm free of epilepsy and good to take on the world. Thanks to Dr henry. You can get yours too. All I have is his contact : drhenry247atgmaildotcom.  All the best!

I'm not a doctor, so I can't say for sure, but I really think that what works depends on who you are.  I understand that many times seizures can kill brain cells.  It may also be that the medication kills brain cells too.  I have no way of knowing this for sure I'm just going based on what I have come to understand.
