    My first comment to your Dr. Asconape is, have you every lived with someone who has any type of epilepsy?  I have two different types of seizures, that can hit at any time.  I am also on 4 medications for it-Neurontin, Dilantin, Trileptal and Zonegran, plus a Vegas Nerve Stimultor implant and I am NOT controlled.  I was for 5 and a half years and then all of a sudden last summer the seizures started again very bad to the point where I could not go for my driver's license like I wanted to.  Anyway--I have been on all of the mediciations you named in your article and have not been fully controlled decently to the point where I could live by myself and take care of myself, do you know how that would feel?   If you have any suggestions I would love to hear them as would my doctor, Dr. Timothy Thoits in Grand Rapids, Michigan.  He is one great guy.  Thank you for your time.
