Hi Mike. I know how scary this is. Please take your medicine. I’ve had seizures since brain surgery 20+ years ago and I’m the Neuro Rn and tech for 30+. When you have too much electricity it can scar the brain tissue. Take the Ativan. People are on it for years and they’re fine.

What can stop the electricity? I will start messaging you, you seem to know what im going through.

Keep on taking your Ativan!!! It's SO important! I would also suggest that you see your neurologist with regards to side effects and/or medication changes if necessary.

I take Phenytoin which apparently reduces the electricity by preventing me from having seizures. I have never had any need for surgery because medication changes did the trick for me 30+ years ago as a child.

Hi Mike7777,

I have had severe epilepsy 'all throughout my childhood' during that time my

parents were told never miss a single dose always mae sure that she does not ever miss out on her medication its SO important! But even when my seizures stopped at age 18 yrs, I HAVE STILL TOOK MY MEDICATION AND I HAVE BEEN FREE for 26 years now AND I AM STILL TAKING THEM. IF WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS .... BEST TO ASK A NEUROLOGIST FIRST. BUT MUST KEEP TAKING OUR MEDS UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE!!!

IT ONLY TAKES A FEW MINUTES.
