I had tried most of the available medicines, which is why the VNS implant was tried. I eventually had brain surgery and came down off all but one of the medicines that I had been on. I was left on one full strength till this year. This is year ten, and we are cutting the strength by half.

I’ve been on many medications on the market and not have fully work. That includes this present day.

I have the DBS ( deep brain Stimulator ) implant in me it helps the meds I’m on, reduce my seizures, from what they use to be.

Dilantin; Tegratal; Depakote; Topamax; Keppra. I am now on phenobarbital and lamotrigine. I am glad your medications are working for you.
