Anticonvulsant Medication

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
East Montpelier, VT

Is there any other ways other than anti-convulsants that help with seizures that anyone has tried? I’m going to talk to a doctor about it, don’t worry. I’m just curious if there are any other ways other than medication because I hate the side-effects. I may just deal with it. I’m probably going to try Depakote.

Ketogenic Diet, Does Anyone Follow This Treatment For Seizures, Or Even Just Try Low Glycemic Diets For Seizure Control?

A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭
Roanoke, VA

I'm looking for advice on the ketogenic diet or low glycemic diets. Has any tried these and had it help seizure control? Too much sugar is a trigger for me, so I was wondering if it might help to be more strict with diet.
Thanks

I just started the Modified Atkins Diet one week ago. I'm in the early stages of it. I'm hopping it helps.

I am reading about the comments about the applied diets. (Ketogena and Modifications Adkins.) . They are a type of treatment. How many of you are prescribed by a nutritionist?

Very healthy but no evidence it will help reduce or impact seizures.
