Hi Shez, only diagnosed here in my 50s. I take Lamictal which doesn't cut down on seizure activity but it does keep the ebb and flow of my emotions more manageable. Without this med I am a basket case of emotions and hallucinations, fears, obsessions with words and numbers, etc.

The worst thing is I had to stop working and that is killing my spirit. The med works so well on those symptoms I mentioned but the down side is that my creativity is squelched. I barely do anything creative and now that I don't work I ahve all the time in the world but no creative drive, kinda numb.

It's a give and take. Cynthia
