Treatment

I take epilepsy meds and others, too. Sometimes it's hard to remember what I've taken.

Time to get organized. That's your best bet to keep track of medication. You could get a watch or a pillbox, or even a PDA with an alarm and set it for each time you have to take a pill.

Is there any other way to treat epilepsy?

Surgery to remove a small area of the brain may work for some people. Brain stimulation via a large nerve in your neck (vagus nerve stimulation, or VNS, therapy) may help. There's also a diet (lots of fat, hardly any carbs--forget the pizza and the bread--and no sugar) that helps little kids with seizures. But it's not a do-it-yourself diet. It's called the ketogenic diet. It's serious medicine and you have to be really disciplined to make it work.
