I have had epilepsy since I was 9 yrs. The only time a had a seizure was before, during or after my monthly period. I told the doctor this and he said it was a build up fluid. I currently take Lamictal and Primidone everyday. I am 66yrs old. I have not a seizure since February 1976. If you live anywhere near Spokane, WA. I strongly suggest you try to Dr. Britt. He is the best. Goodluck, Barbara
