Thanks for the courage to speak up.  Hey, I learned something from you today!
Probably the folks with photosensitivity epilepsy, like myself, should be made
aware of this.  It's interesting that the same eye filters for Irlen syndrome
seem to work with some patients with photosensitivity seizures. This is something
I've got to look into more.

** Warning -- Long Post!  (I spent about an hour scanning some sites, so the
ones I thought would be of use to her and Barb are at bottom.  It might be
related to some szr. types, but might be more specific if some of you don't
want to read it all.  G.)

****************************

G.  My reply -->
  I think the main Medications site if you didn't get a printout from your
Pharmacist with the prescriptions for Anti- Seizure pills is on the Ep.
Foundation of America -- http://efa.org   --*:Lamictal will be there, I
don't remember if Rivotril is an AED (anti ep drug) but the name is
'familiar' so it could be there too.

   I went off and did some Searches after your and Barb's posts.
Interesting I saw your post about the Glasses AFTER I went down the sites
(listed below) since one of them sounded like a commercial site selling the
Eye Glasses similar to what you described earlier.   One search I went
through msn.ca (Canada) since that's my main internet connection.   I forgot
to write down the search 'first' link, but it's something like http://msn.ca 
?
(Try under "Tools" or "Find", if you're using a Windows system, to see if
you get to a search option.  If you're not on a Microsoft system, you can
probably get to your local one via http://msn.nl  ?(a guess)   You might
have already done this.   But when I entered Irlen Syndrome  I pulled up
about 50? sites that used that phrase.   It appears on some of the sites to
be related to autism?  although the meds. you described are used to treat
seizures too.     Barb might find the Eyeglasses or *your comments on
whether they're useful, of interest.)
   Under the msn Search, I found these sites you can look at if you
want --> http://www3.telus.net/~judypool/irlen.htm  then no.  2-->
http://www.irlen.com/sss_distortions.htm   has some Samples of what it
'looks like' to the patient and a self-test.  (*note **one of these
somewhere looked like a Commercial Site, so if above wants more info. than
you think should be needed for a 'Free Test'  it could be trying to sell
something).
 (3) Irlen Syndrome (also listed on this as "Scotopic Sensitivity
Syndrome" -- condition that requires filtered light for reading etc.  **MAY
also be a Commercial site -- had links about either a Book or a Course
called "Flailing in the Surf" near bottom of one of the pages I went
through.   The (2) Links are at http://clevergirl.ca/journal/index.php?p=376 
+ http://www.dilam.com/press2.html  .

  *** IT Might have pulled in that first site and no.*4 below this since it
knew I was in Canada.  A similar search from Your machine, might pull you in
some other sites, closer to the Netherlands, as more useful for where you
are.  But since I found these anyway, there's no reason you can't look at
those, in case they would help.

  (4)  An Ottawa Canada Centre for Treatment of Children with Irlen's but
has several Articles within the site about it, type of glasses that it says
help some people with it similar to one in (3) is at
http://www.irlencentre.ca/general.html  .
**********
  Then I went to Google !  http://www.google.com  (I think was the link I
had on a bookmark and forgot! to bring here.   Try that one first, *or I
have a note about http://www.google.ca since I'm in Canada, or
http://www.google.nl might give you a link in the Netherlands.
 (For others) You could try that one, or if in another country or state,
you could try add your own state or country code at the End where my 'ca'
is,  and see if you get into google that way.

This search engine (Google) pulled in ~21!  Pages of 9-10 items each Page
(!!) which had the search words Irlen Syndrome on them.   Note that Google
sorts these from what it THINKS are *Most Likely to Least likely  from
websites, plus Group Posts (like these of ours), it finds.   USUALLY the
Most likely **useful matches show up within the First 4-8 items, whenever
I've used it.   But if you click down to end of a page of references and
none match what might be of interest to you, click the Arrow or "Next" word
(whichever it is) at bottom of page 1, and it will take you on to Page 2 of
the articles it found.
  (Note on the Google search if you haven't used that, you can reduce
amount of 'hits' if, for example you are only interested in people who have
Irlen Syndrome **and have Posted about Lamictal -->  You can set the Search
to Find Articles which contain IrlenSyndrome&Lamictal   <-- you can add More
(& for And) if there is a Third item too.  Often that can be handy to First
get articles like shown there of People who have Both the Syndrome *and are
using Lamictal. You might only get 20 articles, for example-> rather than
the number it found just looking for the Syndrome name(500?).

 The syndrome appears on One site I looked at (to make sure I wasn't
sending you on a wild goose chase), to be Related to a form of Autism ??
At least that's what one of the sites about Children had on it.   The sites
I looked at briefly and the Medicines you are using mentioned earlier, *are
used to treat seizures Too,  so even if you find some other sites related to
it,  you might want to stay subscribed *here too, and let us know if you
find other stuff beyond just what is posted so far.  Hth, G./
