: Has your child or yourself suffered from some form of epilepsy post some vaccination? my son's epilepsy began. I BELIEVE as a result of the school campaig MR(measles rubella vaccine) (amongst other things) which vaccine caused yours?

I had siezures after my dpt shot at 18 mounths of age. I out grew my siezures ate 13. I have had 2 aura in the past 5 years. The most recent was about six mounths ago. I went to a neuro and he wants me to start taking medications again. He suggested topamax but I don't want to take meds agian. I think it changes me as a person and I am about to start college. Do you think after only 2 auras and no siezures i should take meds agian. I need feedback please e-mail me at jnobrien1@cs.com I cant decide if I need meds or if that is just the textbook answer the neuro is going to give. PLEASE REPLY! Thanks in advance.
