possible remission?

Im 51 female been treated for Eplepsy for 8 yrs-in begiining it was bad Iwould black out .Im treated for complex parcial type.At times I would bite my tongue an grip my hands or whoever was near me an had no memeory of who or what happened when I came back to conciouness.Now as of this past yr I have been seizure free,with medication of course.I live in overseas in the country of Kuwait an basically just desired a second opinion.
Im on Trileptol 600mg 3x daily I WAS SO SEDATED-all I did was sleep,Im a mother of 5 !
trileptol-150mg daily
furisum 10mg
The Trileptol was the only one I responded too, which has caused me to have SO much memeory loss,which I know is the side effect along with the migraines,which I take various types of meds for that when needed.

Congratulations for being seizure free for one year!  

I am 54 and my seizures went away about 15 years ago.  My doctors said that sometimes seizures are hormone related and that once you start going through perimenopause and menopause they often go away.  This may be what is happening with you.  Talk to your doctors about that possibility.

I'm so happy you have been seizure free but I don't think you should count on remission. Sorry :(. My family has a history of seizures and my uncle has only had a handful his is in fifties also and hadn't had one for twenty years he recently had one last out of know where he has grand mals. I do wish the best luck though I guess it could possibly be dormant idk good
luck though

I am glad to hear about the know seizures. It must bring peace to your mind. I am a mother of a 2 and a half year old who has pretty much lived her whole life with epilepsy and the uncontrollable kind. We have tried all the medications and the one that worked best for her was the Trileptol. I am surprised to hear those types of side affecks i have done alot of research on epilepsy and the medications used to help control it. If I were you I would be talking to your doctor about the side effects. Is your Doc an epileptologist? If not maybe you should try contacting one. Any who I am sorry to hear about the side effects. Did you have the side effects before they added the other medication if not maybe try adding a different med with the Trileptol. Keppra is a great drug to use with trileptol. Has some moodiness side effects but thats not for everyone and that is the combonation my daughter was on. Good luck and keep us posted. All another thought maye your dr has you on too much.
