Hi.   The group has been quiet for a while (Sept.) after a couple of
students (who didn't have seizures) were around.  They should be off
line now, but I suspect several of the regulars (there were 8-10 of us
in about 10 timezones, including N.and South America, Europe,
Australia and New Zealand), just moved away from the group.
   That was handy as you could post a question and within 24 hours
someone who might have comments or experiences would give what
information they had about a pill or seizure type or a site they had
found useful.  Also some treatments might vary by country so if
something hadn't worked e.g. in Canada, an alternative treatment or
idea might turn up from Europe or Australia that was actually
available but not tried yet with a specific seizure type.
   If you need any websites to look at, I did a post a few weeks ago
where I list about 6-8 I had picked up over last ~9 years (!).   Some
of them have information about medications and possible side effects,
and a few of the older posters had reactions (not so much allergies?)
to some of the more common Anti Ep Drugs (AEDs).
   Are your seizures mainly Grand Mal? or are there any other types
too? (like Complex Partial etc.)   If others know the names of any
szr. types, they may have that particular type too and might have some
ideas or workarounds they've tried that had worked for them.
   We can see if any of the 'regulars' turn up after Christmas stuff
is done with.  It *was an excellent source of information when it was
most active.      G./    (I'm on Eastern Timezone in Canada, so only
read groups list later in the day around 8-12PM GMT =3-7+ PM my time.)

Sorry to hear you have reason to be here.  I'm one of the not-so-often
posters, but I'm here a lot.  My grand mals began when I was 11; stopped
when I was in my early 20s and complex partials moved in with a vengeance to
fill the void. I'm in Seattle. Where do you live?
