Seizure Meds?

I have been on seizure meds most of my life. From until about age 6 - 10 I was on Dilantin. Not for seizures, but for scleroderma. At age 14, when my seizures started, I was put on Tegretol. I was on Tegretol for about 14 years straight (except for one year where I didn't take any meds at all) and I know it has taken a toll on my body. Thursday I ordered herbs and a capsule filling device from my favorite online health store - www.bulkherbstore.com. There were four herbs listed that are anti-spasmodic and are known to help or cure seizures, convulsions and epilepsy. Passion flower, Lobelia, Plantain leaf and Valerian root.

My only question now is whether to chance coming off my meds. Now would be the best time to do it, if I was going to. I am only two weeks past my last seizure, so even if I had another one I wouldn't be losing much ground in terms of driving. I need to think about it. I don't trust my neuro anymore, but I think my family doctor would help wean me off of my meds if I really wanted to do it. I would need to at some point to know whether the herbs would help me or not. I think in this case it's better sooner than later.

How my daughter was saved from grand mal seizure.
I am not really a fan of sharing my personal private story on the internet but i decided to do this because this joy is too voluminous for me to hide. My daughter which i took over 8 years after marriage to conceive had her first seizure at age 8 and ever since then it has been from one seizure to another in school, in church, at picnics. This got me worried because she has a bright future that i do not want epilepsy to become a hindrance, i tried several doctors in Texas and none could help with an effective cure. I went on the internet and saw testimonies about a treatment for epilepsy which a doctor offered and i was interested, i got in contact with him and i was able to get the medicine for my daughter which she used for 3 months as he instructed and it has been over 6 months now she is doing just fine without any allergies or aftermath effects. If you are suffering problem try to reach him too on (josephalberteo@gmail.com) i can count on him for a cure for you too.
