alternative cure?

[Guest guest]

I am talking with my doctor (naturo/homeopath as well as

acupuncturist) about weaning me off Tegretol while introducing other

remedies. I'm quite determined to get off Tegretol, which I've taken

for 13 years and have suffered memory problems from it, I'm quite

sure. Not to mention what it could do to my liver. I've never achieved

100% seizure control even with pharmaceuticals, so I'm not even

expecting a full cure from an " alternative " approach, but I'm

wondering about others' experience with various therapies? Biofeedback

isn't on the table for me, but rather homeopathy, acupuncture, and a

remedy that my brilliant doctor made himself that has already stopped

an advanced warning aura that I get (metallic taste). He's already

helped me improve my health greatly in other areas (such as allergies

and an orthopedic condition) through natural medicine and I trust him.

I have complex partial and tonic-clonic seizures, the latter mostly

nocturnal or secondary generalized from complex partial. Though I have

a driver's license, I don't have a car and so don't depend on being

able to drive. I'm at a good place to make a change in my approach to

seizure control and would be encouraged by other's success stories.

I'd also like to hear from any who have tried other methods and

failed. Eyes wide open.

Very glad to find this list.
