60 mg phenobarb at night. Thank God I don't need more. I have an autistic child and can't afford to be whipped on med, which is what they have all done to me.

I had my last CP seizure on Feb. 4/06, then a grade 2 oligodendroglioma tumor was removed from left temporal lobe on Feb. 14. Not a sz since then.
Currently taking 1200 Trileptal and 125 Topamax which will be reduced in Oct.

About a year and a half. Had my last one at my father's funeral. There have been several times I felt like one was going to happen, but they never materlized.

It will be 6 years on October 17th (after surgery)...except for a seizure I had last October when my husband and I were seperated. I still can't believe the stress brought it on after a temporal lobectomy and 5 years seizure free (at the time). So, I guess it's really been almost a year. It's like an alcoholic being sober for 20 years but has a drink a year ago. That blows it.
