Sounds like you are what they class as 'drug resistant'. I was the same with my Epilepsy. No matter what medication I tried, nothing worked. So I ended up having surgery instead, though not all patients with epilepsy are able to have surgery, depending on which part of your brain is affected. Mine was the left temporal lobe, and the name of the surgical procedure was 'amygdalahippocampectomy'.

Not what you're looking for?
