Your response was helpful. Thanks. I am not a doctor, but with faith, I have a gut feeling your side effects will decrease over time.

Well it WAS successful. I’d stopped the meds 2 weeks prior. And felt fantastic two weeks after the surgery. But the doctor told me I still had epilepsy. And I felt so great I was shocked. But I actually had to start the meds again. And the side effects came back. So even though I have far less seizures, the side effects are here and just won’t go away.

Congratulation on what seems to be a successful operation ! Did the doc stop your medication immediately after the surgery; or slowly decrease the amount you were taking. What type of seizures were you experiencing? Roy Anthony
