It took some time to determine, but the fact of the matter is that Marijuana is the only medication that controls my seizures. I regret not trying it until after I graduated high school. Phenabarbital, Dilantin, Trileptal, Keppra, Vimpat, Fycompa, Lamictal, Surrgery: I SWEAR TO YOU, FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART THAT MARIJUANA IS THE ONLY SOLUTION FOR MY EPILEPSY! I FINALLY HAVE SOME FREEDOM BACK IN MY LIFE :o)

Lamictal for me caused weird side effects until I got used to it. I take 200mg twice a day. I do get dizzy spells and I get tired from it. I also take Keppra... I sleep a lot! Mostly my seizures are controlled other than about every four months or so... I don’t have bad ones though... I know what I’m doing and what’s going on around me when mine happen... I can still drive so I’m thankful for that.
