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.

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:hug:
