Seizures and Depro Provera
Wed, 01/17/2007 - 18:21Topic: Women With Epilepsy
I have been having seizures since I was 18 years old. I have been on 8-9 medicines (from what I can remember) and none have stopped my seizures. My neurologist recently told me that there was as study done on the effects of seizures and depro provera. She said it may help reduce or eliminate my seizures along with my other medications. Has anyone tried depro provera for this reason? And if so, what did you think of it?

Studies have come out that Depo isn't that great for the body. That and people gain 10, 15, 20lbs--some more. I started Seasonale two years ago and my JME used to get HORRIBLE before my period and now they never spike.
