Anxiety?

[Casanovadeadbeat]

I know I have been posting a lot, but my doctors don't tell me anything. Plus how do they know what it's like, I'm not against them, would just rather hear it from another person going through what I am, or knows something like it. I have a lot of anxiety and fear, has anyone had this after starting to have seizures? It's only been a year and 4 down and I'm finding I'm having a lot of anxiety followed with fear through out the day/ week/ months. I'm on 500mlg 2 times a day of keppra with b vitamins and other supplements, but I don't want to go on another medication for anxiety. My dad thinks I'm going nuts, and I'm just milking everything. Is there any other way to get over this? Therapy is what I'm thinking, but I don't know and it sounds expensive.

Sorry I didn't mean stop taking  Epilepsy Med at all but spread the VITAMINS out and don't take them too near  your ep med

I ve had epilepsy for37 years, I do definitely agree with you. EPILEPSY makes you feel very insecure and fearful. After I had a seizure and come round I felt really insecure and needed someone to hold on to and hated being left on my own. As you probably no its a Nervous Disorder and effects your nervous system . Make sure if take VIT B  not to take with Epilepsy Med cos can interact and stop it from working cos yr Med is strong. Also try some Rescue Remedy from HOLLAND AND Barrett and take a few drops when feeling anxious cos I use it and it calms body down. Also try breathing exercises. Breath 4 secs up through nose and breath 4 secs out through diaphragm. Hope this will help, keep me updated! Good luck from Carrie15
