(One thing I only do the meds I get from the doctorsTusday I watch the Montel williams show and him dealing with MS. And him and other saying Him and other saying Marianna. Help with the pain and such. And I notice a calming affect when people smoke it.That not what I m looking at.Let me explain what happen to me. When I was 27 years of age year 2000. I had a machine fall on me. And it broke my ankle and I was alone and from there no one knows If I was knock out. Every one was at one side of the Manufacture complex. I was at the other side moving machines. And a 15 foot machine about half ton hit my ankle and I came crashing down. And next thing I know I m getting up from the accident. and found my ankle broken. I got to the side and then someone help me. I drove my self to the hospital a few miles and then home a hour drive. But only doctors look at my ankle. Three weeks later my Mom notice a dazed Look. Then It just got worse. having them every other day. that with tegratol. And tried another drug and I got sick. And went to Topamax which I started getting ear ringing and chest pain. And the price too high with the other meds. And having 4 to 6 seziers in every two week on like on a monday tusday. Now Dilantion It work 7 weeks and I had 13 seziers in three days. on 400mg and they went up to 500mg. So the doctor gave me the clonazepam. So when I have one Sezier. That if my parents see it. I take it. And if I have another seziers I take another Pill. Ok Reading up on the medical site http://www.healthsquare.com. This is something to calm someone down with seziers.A year earlier 1999 My cusion who was into high meds Drug user. Had a Gran Mal. And we call the Paramedic. They came and they ask him what drugs he Did. And he going I did Marianna. And they where no that would not start seziers. To find out he was getting meds from someone living next to Him.With the info I get from the paramedic and watching other people smoke it. It seems to calm them. See even with the clonazepam I still have more seziers for it takes time to go into the blood stream. Now with weed would that Help stop Seziers when I have them untel clonazepam comes into effect. I'm just trying to stop going a hour drive to the Hospital. Nothing More.Right now only meds I take is Dilanton emergancys clonazepam. One idea with this website is give a general Price Listing of the Drugs. So People dont have to Bring in Laptops to the doctors office and cellphone to Look up the medication and the price. And One thing for you all. When it a new med do your own research. On this Url or healthsouth. Let take Viagra My dad got it today. the Drug store just put the basic Info on the paper. What I found out on my own It show differnt Info. The basic info was the same But they left out It can start a heart attack. between use or after. So please Read up.

I was kinda wondering the same thing as Wreath. Where's the question?? No offense, but there are lots of medical sites out there - don't trust only one. There are all kinds of sites. Use search engines like www.google.com, www.aj.com, www.dogpile.com & type in either epilepsy or seizures+ the topic of choice. This is one site out of a bunch! So, where's the question? I'm still sorta lost, or tired.

I would never comment on how anyone handles their prescription medicine. I don't claim to know anything about epilepsy medication. I do know the price of medication has reached a point where alot of people must choose between food and medicine. I do know many medications have side effects that rival the illness in causing one health problems. Living in a poor rural area, I've seen people one would never suspect using marajuana for its calming and pain relieving effects. Old country farmers, little sweet faced sickly women are using small amounts of marajuana instead of taking a pill from $150 prescription. They save money by buying illegal medication. They put food on the table and pay the water bill. And the list of ailments ranging from arthritus to MS, reducing nausea in cancer patients with the bonus of relieving pain... Marajuana seems to have a wide range of uses. When considering the negatives, smoking has obvious side effects and purchasing an illegal drug obviously has a down side as well. More study needs to be done on marajuana. Compare legal medication; each prescription is accompanied with an extensive list of side effects. The most recent drug for leg discomfort warns patients to report to their doctor if they have strange gambling and sexual urges. Many anti-depressants warn the drug may cause suicidal thoughts. Marajuana is no more dangerous than prescribed drugs. Marajuana needs to be taken seriously as a medication. I am not saying anyone who reads this should go out and smoke pot, NO NOT AT ALL. I'm saying we are a group of people who need our brains calmed with a minimal of side effects. We need to search any avenue, get over the stigma of marajuana, and support research of a drug that could help many of us.
