You need a prescription and it’s about $3 an ounce at a breast milk bank, but it works.

Q: What is the most effective treatment currently available to patients suffering from epilepsy?
My sixteen year daughter faces a bleak future due to the affliction of epilepsy disease which had made it difficult for her to attend school normally. She strongly desires to go to school but appears to have difficultiy in organizing her self and her thoughts. I am seriously searching for a solution to her affliction in order to afford her the opportunity to study and be useful to herself and society. I feel really sad to be reminded always that epilepsy is noncurable – meaning that is sufferers are doomed to a life of eternal misery!

A: Have you ever heard of a Vagus Nerve Stimulator? I work with a child who has epilepsy and he has one and he has benefited from it. Basically it’s a device that is implanted under the skin and is set by the doctor to stimulate the vagus nerve at a set interval. Then, if she were to have a seizure, you get the special magnet and swipe it over the device in her skin to activate it right at that moment. I’m not sure exactly why it works. Then, if the seizure doesn’t stop after that, the kid I work with uses diastat. It’s been pretty effective for the family.

Q: What is the best treatment for a dog that has epilepsy attack every month?

A: My vet told me when my dog started having seizures a month or less apart that it was time to start him on Phenobarbital. He was on it for six months before he had another seizure. About 18 months after starting, we did have to up his dosage a little bit because he started having seizures again. Since then he’s been seizure free (8 months and counting).

The meds are very reasonably priced. I get 200 pills for $8. He gets them twice a day and I’ve made such a big deal about them that he actually reminds me when it’s time for his pills because he thinks he’s getting a treat.

Q: should alcohol induced seizures receive the same long term treatment as epilepsy?

A: Having a seizure doesn’t mean you have epilepsy. A person isn’t diagnosed with epilepsy unless they have more than one “unprovoked” seizures. Having a seizure from drinking too much would probably be considered a “provoked” seizure.

Long term treatment: control your drinking.
