> Why is your doc so resistant to the idea of trying another anticonvulsant?
>Not just one, but two Neurologists didn't feel an EEG was necessary. I was told the gaps are panic attacks and given AD's which made it worse. My present Doc is certified in both Neurology and Psychiatry, that makes three Neuros steering away from ruling our seizures. I gave up for now :o.
What I do believe is that in my case anticonvulsant's undesirable side effects outweigh the potential benefit, if I can fudge my way through life without control it is better in the long run. (If I don't shut off suddenly and permanently that is. That then will be understood as sudden cardiac arrest and not as status epilepticus) I don't know why the head is disconnected from the body when it comes to medical care.
