Anticonvulsant Medication

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
East Montpelier, VT

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.

I’ve tried the ketogenic diet, cannibus oil and am about to go into an epilepsy monitoring unit for the second time. I keep trying different things and meds because I’m sure something will work.

My dad also had epilepsy and died of SUDEP. That’s my worst fear and it does cause me to sometimes get depressed but I have a wife and 2 daughters who are very very supportive.
