Suggest Medications For Epileptic Seizures
I am an epileptic and have about one seizure a year. Will taking lamictal take away my seizures for a much longer time. I have read others stories and they seem to be happy not having a seizure once a year on medication. I do this already with no medicine. by the way I have been diagnosed with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy. However, I have grand mal seizures now. I was diagnoses at 14 years old. I am now 33 years old.

Hello,
One seizure in a year is very rare and if you decide to take antiepileptic drugs every day there may be adverse effects also.
You can use drugs and seizures may happen again. Juvenile seizures should regress with time. Discuss with your Neurologist for these issues.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
