Wow....that sucks. Unfortunately or otherwise, both my son and son in law don't respond well to epilepsy meds, so they use CBD oil and weed instead. It is much more effective and has far fewer side effects.

You can bet your ass if I have to have my knees replaced I'm gonna eat and edible the night before -- or I won't sleep.
My son in law takes just over 900mg of CBD a day. It brought his seizures down from 20-25 a month to 3-4 a month. We get a significant discount on it because he's disabled.
We've done a LOT of research on the VNS and my SIL has chosen not to take the risk.
- possibility of bradycardia and asystole
- potential vocal cord paralysis
- possible sleep apnea
- potential for trouble breathing and/or swallowing
- Risk of developing Horner syndrome or facial muscle weakness
When you're the kind of person who has paradoxical reactions to things, statistics change.
Neuroleptic meds make him MEAN. Throwing things, punching holes in walls, and screaming at his kids mean. In addition, he can't even think when he takes them.
The ONLY thing that helps is CBD & THC.
