What Medicines Have Been Most Effective For Tonic Clinic Seizures?

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Grand mal seizures are the same as tonic clinic. I’m seeing a neurologist next week and am interested in the fastest most effective medicines that have worked for those with the same issue.

I have been on various medications throughout the years and many neurologists and many seizures but I finally found one who is from Syria and he has helped me so much, I see him once a year and I always praise him and thank him for saving my life. Having this disease can really get a person down and depression comes along with this disorder.TODAY IS NATIONAL SMILE POWER DAY. REMEMBER, A SMILE A DAY CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN SOMEONE'S ELSES DAY.

I will tell you that getting these modern doctors to prescribe Phenobarbital may be difficult. It’s been around, I believe since 1904, and is inexpensive. Most of today’s MD’s want to use the newer modern medications.

I must say that the best things I've ever been on for my seizures is CBD+CBDA Oil with Copaiba oil since taking both of those different oil types has reduced my Grand Mal seizures and all the other seizure types I have have reduced significantly and all the other things they have done for me is unbelievable such with how much better I'm thinking quicker and a lot better, speaking better quicker and more confidently and what both of those different types of oils have done for my body aswell is unreal making me get fit quicker and put on muscle quickly aswell and a lot of other things aswell ☺️. Other than those 2 oils the best medication I've been on is Vimpat which I'm still taking.

I think that everyone is different. I like Primidone and Epival. Make sure you get lots of sleep. Don't drink Grapefruit Juice because it will dilute your pills and any other kind of pills too. Never go outside when it is out because the sun can bring on a seizure.

Everyone is different. There is one medication that I CANNOT take!!! I take Dilantin and Lamictal. Work with your doctor. If your doctor isn’t willing to try something else, find a new doctor. Mine have been great!
