Hi saxgirl,
I have only had 2 tonic-clonic. One when the MTS was diagnosed and one when I was almost 7 mos. pregnant and the Zonegran was not being properly processed. The first was July 2001, second April 2002. I have partials since I was 16. Thought they were just panic attacks. At least I know now that I am not crazy!
I have only been on the lamictal for two weeks. I am on the lowest dose. Sunday I start with the double dose for 2 weeks. And then double it again. I see my dr. at the end ofthis month. I am hoping the drug keeps working. Hearing "the prognosis is not good" last month is more than I really wanted to hear. The Zonegran worked well until this spring, at the lowest possible dose. The side effects were just more than I could handle as we upped the doseage. I felt as though I was always drunk. Not good when you are a teacher. I'll let you know how the lamictal is doing.
Good luck with your EEG. That is one of the things that I am terrified of. Let me know how it goes.

Lamictal? 
That, of course is from the outside looking in. The idea of being able to teach, without that panic setting in 
when I feel a sp coming on, does sometimes seems appealing. My md. is going to hook me up with some people in my area who have gone through with the surgery as a sounding board. For the time being, let's see how the lamictal does.
