My doctor dropped me from 4 to 3 meds a day since my seizures are not doing anything. Last fall was the last one and it was short in my sleep according to hubby. She said we will continue to watch it and maybe take less of another. I feel more clear headed after getting off that one. The rest I've been on so long I doubt I have symptoms from them.

Some of my symptoms are from seizures. Some are from my medications and some symptoms comes from both.
