I was on Gabapentin for years; they told me it was for the headaches, but it was the anxiety and seizures that they were trying to control. This is one of many medicines that I have come off post-surgery. When I went in for the seizure surgery, I was on six medicines, and I am down to only one medicine and the amount I take only one pill in the morning and one at night. This is the pill they left me on long-term. I am now more then ten-years seizure-free. Never give up I am walking proof it can be controlled.

CBD Charlettes Web, made in Colorado, completely removed severe anxiety attacks (losing control of both legs from waist down and collapsing to floor). I began taking it by participating in CBD Epilepsy Research. The prescription drugs never controlled my anxiety. CBD immediately stopped them. I have not experienced any anxiety attacks since year 2014.

Good question! While I do not take anti-anxiety meds, I do go to counseling on a regular basis. I’m not afraid to be vulnerable and honest, so it helps.

I’ve been on many different medications for anxiety/depression along with my epilepsy meds for a while now. I am currently on Prozac
