Hello,
I am epileptic (was since 14, now 32) and have constant headaches for about 2 years. Being on lots of meds. Last thing doc gave me is neurotin (which is supposed to help) I think it doesn’t in my case. Doc also told me I am a candidate for brain surgery?! I ma very scared ... surgery on my brain... huh Sad

Hey there,
I had surgery 2, 5 years ago. part of my brain tissue was dying and causing the problem, so I got it removed. I didn’t have a seizure since then (before that I had at least 2 in a month due to meds). I am very satisfied with the results.
I would listen to your doctor. But if you are not sure, you can always search for second opinion.
