Great that the medication, Tegretol works to prevent me from having a grandmal, but I feel more than depressed than usual these past few weeks. Being alone and not having anyone who understands or cares to give me the time doesn't help.

its not much of an imidiate boost but? your system will get used to tegratol ive been on it for 27 years and depresion is a side effect best you can do is keep active ie get a hobby that you can mix with people but the focus is on the hobby not you so ppl wont be to quick to sterio type. what you thnik?

After waking up this morning I'm depressed.

I had a nocturnal seizure and was hoping to make it 1 month seizure free.

I came close the 4th would of been a month.

were well experianced by now to know ah belinda, always to stay positive

2Steve,

It's not easy stay positive when the Topamax I'm on is good at depressing me.

After 47 years with seizures I may go 3 month sz free and I have to be were there is public transportation to get around.
