Talk to Neuro MD: That's how epilepsy is managed--call your neurologist to develop a plan for what to do about seizures between visits. Most times we can adjust doses of meds. Identifying and eliminating triggers may help (sleep deprivation, strobe or flickering lights, stress). Some people are more prone to have seizures around time of their menses/ period. Good luck!
