Question:

Does anyone know of non-medical treatments for seizures?

I had 2 pretty major seizures within a few days of each other (stressful time) a few months ago, but none since. Before that, I had had some "absence seizures", or staring spells, but they lasted about 10 seconds, and I never lost consciousness. Anyway, they put me on Topomax a few weeks after the seizures happened (I had no problems between the seizures and the start of the medicine), and I am itching to get off of it. I am very tired, my heart pounds and I get dizzy when I try to exercise, my menstrual cycle is all off and my cramps and bleeding are severe, I feel weak, I've lost weight and muscle, my immune system is down (I went to a picnic where a baby had a stomch virus- no one got sick except me and the grandma, and I never get sick), my hands and feet tingle, ... I do not like to be on medicine period, but this is just too much for me.

I've got an appointment with the neurologist to cut back the dose. But if I could get off of it altogether, I'd be THRILLED!!!
