A few comments: Portions of the marijuana plant have been found to help some forms of childhood epilepsy, but not clear that adult variations respond in similar fashion. Since we have well over 20 different anti-epileptics, surprises me that appropriate medication has not been found. Another approach might involve a Vagal Nerve Stimulator. Discuss these considerations with your neurologist.
