hi amber,

thats a good start. why dont you read some of the other posts. alot of them will start with mu introduction or somethign along that line. it will give youa good idea as to what to input. this way it will give people an insite as to what "your" situation is and then you might get someone who is going through what you are and can connect with you. if not then like i said feel free to jump in any other ones. good luck and welcome to the boards again. this is the place for the best friends that you dont know

Welcome Amber..... We are very chatty around here and quite friendly so feel free to ask any questions you need, someone general can answer it for you and if not, we will support you thru it!!

I'm Lisa, I've had E for three years now. I take Topamax, never tried Tegetral.. be patient, sometimes it takes these docs awhile to find that right drug for us!! How long have you been on this one??

How was your fourth? Have a great day and chat with you soon!!

Lisa
