I've been on seizure meds for about 5 years now. It's rare but I have had a grand mal occur even with the meds. My dr is aware of this. I'm very fearful of having my meds messed with. What I'm on works. We realized what was happening when I had my last one. For me, I fear having a seizure more than not. My meds work. I do also have a seizure alert dog who is with me all of the time. She's a kick. She picks up on any seizure activity and asthma with me along with my sisters pace maker. I feel safe with my meds but with the addition of my dog I feel safer. I go anywhere I want to now. Good luck with this situation.

Thanks, i just met with my new Doctor and he finds my med are good. The testing shows nothing has changed . I'm bummed but thats all they can do...

First of all it is "gran mal" not grand even though it seems like it should be. I went through Pheno Barb, Dilantin, and another I can't recall the name of right now, and What's good about chatting to people in here is I can "ya know what Iean" and know that you know exactly what I mean.:) Anyway my neurologist finally put me on "LAMICTAL" which was a very good improvement. No seizures for years and I do pretty much every thing I shouldn't do. because of this and getting tococky as to not take my meds I had another seizure so he added "trileptal" with it.
