Smile introducing myself
Hello everyone. I am a mom of 2 fantastic sons, living on the small coast of New Hampshire. Happy to be amongst you all.

I have a 20 year old son who has Complex Partial seizures. He was diagnosed with Epilepsy in 1999. Four years ago he had two brain surgeries in his left frontal lobe. It was a great success, reducing seizures of 16-20 per day to not even 20 total in 2 years. But they have returned. College life not always agreeing with the lifestyle he needs to keep to be healthy. Definetly a learning curve.

He takes 700 mg Lamictal per day and 2100 mg Trileptal per day. He switched to generic Trileptal and the seizures returned in a big way. He is one day back on the name brand. Fingers crossed it gets the control back he once had.

Looking forward to the support I can offer and recieve here. Thank you.

Hello neverseenblu and welcome to NeuroTalk.

I'm sorry to read about all that your son has gone through. It must be hard as a mom to watch your own child suffer with an illness like this.

We have a great Epilepsy Forum and I see that Alffe has already given you the direct link.

That forum has some wonderful members who check in there from time to time, so please drop into the forum and say hello.

If you post your questions there, I'm hoping that some-one will be able to help you out.

Welcome again. I hope you'll get some of the answers that you seek.

Hi and Welcome to NeuroTalk. (I'm writing in blu since you've never seen it) LOL

I'm sorry you're son is having a rough go but hopefully the brand name drug will take effect and he'll be on the right road again. Wishing you luck
