IMO, that is an impossible question to answer. Everyone is different and your current diet, health, lifestyle, etc. all play a part in the equation. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Check out my chart of alternative epilepsy treatments.

Hi Rowan, I've also just started taking Omega 3 capsules today. A few days ago I started on some other stuff -I'm getting good results, but don't know how the Omega 3 will help yet as it's too soon to tell. Many supplements can take a few weeks to build up in your system, so just keep at them and try and remain positive. You have a lot of seizures. Are you taking regular AED's for it or just trying go natural?
