Suggest Treatment For Epilepsy Disease
My son takes Tegretol he gets an epilepsy attack once every 3 months. And the Neurologist wants to change his meds. Every time I change his meds he get epilepsy attacks 3nto 4 times a week. I have try 6 different meds. I don t want him to keep missing school. The only medicine that helps him go to school is Tegretol all the other meds make him very sick and he has to stay home. And the neurologist reuses to see my son because I do not keep trying new meds.

Hello. I have been thrrough your question and understand your concern.
Since many antipeileptic drugs have failed to definitely stop the seizures, I would recommend you to schedule a neurosurgical consult because he can definitely benefit from this procedure. It is a very invasive procedure but he can definitely be free of seizures without need of drugs for his lifetime. Consider this option as well.
Hope this helps
