Epilepsy - a lived experience story on what Epilepsy has been like

[@JAM-zb2vh]

Hello my Epilepsy started at age five I am fifty eight I have cluster seizures and drop seizures. When I was younger I had a seizure every day now I will have 4 to 6 seizures a month. To have seizures your a strong person never give up keep fighting.

how does not taking or switching to another medication effect seizures? or make them worse?

[@emmapariera5210]

Because the medicine targets the brain where the seizures occur. So If you suddenly switch meds that trips your brain, it can trigger one. Or if you suddenly stop taking the meds that you’re brain has adapted too, they can come back worse. It’s complicated.
