Is there any other ways other than anti-convulsants that help with seizures that anyone has tried? I’m going to talk to a doctor about it, don’t worry. I’m just curious if there are any other ways other than medication because I hate the side-effects. I may just deal with it. I’m probably going to try Depakote.

Exercise, sunlight, ketogenic diet, music, sports etc.

Hi guys,
I'm not on any medication at the moment for my tonic clonic and grand mal seizures.
I'm wanting to speak to my Dr about maybe starting Topomax.
Has anyone been on it? Any side effects? Does it help stop seizures?
Did you take topomax in conjunction with other seizure meds or on it's own?
Thanks heaps.

I'm looking for advice on the ketogenic diet or low glycemic diets. Has any tried these and had it help seizure control? Too much sugar is a trigger for me, so I was wondering if it might help to be more strict with diet.
Thanks

I know that a poor eating habit can cause havoc to someone who has diabetes - because they need to regularly check their blood sugar levels, but I am not aware of that being the case for someone who has epilepsy - especially when they are on one AED that suppresses the appetite, and another one that counteracts the side-effect of the said AED. Just curious.

I'm looking to see if their is any kind of diet that might help with Partial Onset Seizures. I haven't checked with my Neurologist yet.
