What kind of surgery did you have, what type of seizures do you have, And if you are still having seizures then the med you are taking is niot controlling them. It is really difficult to answer properly without the specifics. My first med in the 1960's was Dilantin. It was not for Complex Partials and did not control my seizures. Does Dilantin seem to be helping? It is a very old drug and there are several newer AEDs that seem to have good results. The one that works for you depends on your case, type of seizures, etc. Tegretol seems to benefit those with Complex Partials, but it did have side effects slowing my memory and causing sepression for me. It also dod not stop my seizures. I had surgery after I tried Tegretol. What is best for depends on your type of seizures etc since it is so individualized. Some people also have the VNS done if surgery doesn't stop them completely or if a med can't be found to stop them. With my Cpmplex Partils after surgery, Keppra has been great. No side effects that hinder my quality of life once I got it to the lowest effective dosage for me. Tattoo
