I tried to get him on disability, but since he's 41 they are giving him issues. But its sad, he is loaded on medications, sleeps alot! They dont want him driving, he is also depressed on 150mg of Zoloft.

Any advice? We tried the diets mentioned. He has had seen many different docs, they changed up his meds many times, still sick with these seizres.

Is anybody here on SSDI because of these type Temp Lobe seizures?

Thanks!
I filed for my disability back several years ago for the seizures and they turned me down. They said they didn't think it was permanent and it wouldn't keep me from working. I have worked but I still have the seizures. Take a look at the SSA Blue Book and it will describe the rules governing disability with seizures. Maybe this can guide you in the right direction. Good Luck!
