I was 12. I am now almost 24. After years and years of trial and error, I am now on Fycompa (10 mg). And I haven’t had a seizure in 2 months!! Tonic clonic seizures are the worst thing but the time and the right doctors help so much!! Instead of seeing a regular neurologist as I did when I was younger, I got an epileptologist who specializes in epilepsy specifically!! ❤️❤️
