I have a cousin who had tonic clonic sz. all her life but when she went through her change her sz. stopped and she hasn't had a single sz. in over 20 yrs. I don't know what type of sz. you have but if you have absence or cp sz. you might want to try taking Diamox that was very helpful for me but then everyone is different. I wish you the best of luck and May God Bless You!

Sue,
I have Cp SP absence atonic, generalized,tonic,clonic seizures.
I've tried Diamox and it didn't help my seizures.
My sz's change from time to time for know reason.
I now take Tegretol,Topamax,Clonazepam.Vimpat and I lowered the dose of vimpat and I'm able to get by on 1 pill a day with not as much itching, and haven't had a sz since been on it.
Belinda
