Big or small the seizures are very draining. I know first hand myself because whichever seizure I have whether petite or grand mol I get drained. The best thing that you can do is A) make sure the seizure has fully passed and B) make sure to be in a calm, peaceful place and get rest- because seizures after they're done takes a minimum of 12-24 hours to recover for the body to fully come back to normal.

Yes, I have balance issues. I am exhausted, much of the time. I cannot rely on my brain to come up with the right words or follow a conversation to its logical conclusion. I find it difficult to make plans. However, I am grateful for each of you.

I agree. I felt the same way. LenaDavis, I have been on disability since I was 18/19 years old!

I take 3 phenobarbital at night.....I'm always tired. I take naps....but people wonder why I am sometimes just so tired. I've told a few people don't judge until you're in my shoes.

Yes, I try to complete any important task before I take my medication at 10:00am because after that I'm drained. No energy, no motivation. I have to force myself to complete the simplest task, such as sweeping the floors or picking up something dropped on the floor.
