Hi Will

That is a real tricky one - my daughter has epilepsy (without a side dose of depression) and has tried different meds, one had very sever side effects, you need to get doc to refer you to specialist so they can monitor you carefully to make sure mix is right for you.

Good luck

It has been found that epilepsy is sometimes linked to depression. I suffer with this.

It might not be a bad idea to download a good relaxation CD as I have done. I have found that this really can help both the D and the E.

Take great care

Richard
