Good afternoon,
Not sure where to put this, but I am Gary's wife, and we need some help here.
Gary has been diagnosed with Epilepsy in 2007, after an accident while serving his country. It took 30 years, but enough scar tissue built up to cause Epilepsy.
Regardless of the cause, Gary takes Lamictal for his Grand Mal seizures, and now that Charlottes Web is legal in Florida, (where we moved from Ohio in August 2013) I was wondering if there are Drs. who can wean Gary from the Lamictal, and get him on the Charlottes Web.
Does it even work in adults?
I ask this after we have spent the a.m. in the E.R. again, after Gary has had repetitive vomiting, and such dizziness he can't stand up. In fact he has been sleeping since we arrived back home from the E.R. Where they gave him I.V. fluids, and an anti nausea drug.
Please help.
Lamictal causes signs of early dementia, and this is just so unfair for him to live his life this way.
I appreciate any help anyone can give us.
We live in Port Charlotte, Florida.
Thank you, Diane
