[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dear OP, just sending you good wishes as you sort through so many stressful decisions.  I was diagnosed with epilepsy when I was 16 and was on meds for about 8 years.  Then the Dr said I could go off the meds and I’ve been fine since (now 50+!).  Just sharing this to reassure you that things can work out fine. I didn’t really like taking the meds but it was worth it bc, as others have mentioned, it trains your brain to not have a seizure.

OP here - I really appreciate your kind words!

This has all been most unexpected by me so it's been a bit tough to wrap my head around.

I initially went to the neurologist for motor tics and now have come out of the visits with probable seizures. I mean, in a way, I guess I'm glad I did anyways, because I'm really hoping that this is a situation where "we caught it early" and hope that the medicine can mitigate any future damage.

I'm glad you have found peace with your brain! Wishing you all the best![/quote]
