Most Medication
Hello!
Everyone in the group is on medication. It is most welcome at home. Outside of the home in an emergency situation, do you have medications available to take that will work for a short time to prevent a seizure before emergency help arrives? How do you take them?

Does Anyone Else Have Trouble Getting Your Prescriptions Filled For You Seizure Meds Because Of The Meds Being "rare"?
My neurologist has me on Briviact as my primary medication, no generic of course. I call every month to refill and they always have to order... "We'll have it in 1-3 days." This month I called a week early. They still don't have it, but they will get it in tomorrow or the next day. I'm picking up 5 days worth tonight because I'm running out soon. I hate to go through another change of meds, but I think that's what I'll have to do. 😕

That’s why I got rid of my VNS. The vibration made me cough and changed my voice whenever it turned on. It didn't help me with seizures either.
