Tell your healthcare provider how carrying an immediate-use seizure medication can keep you prepared to act when episodes of frequent seizures strike.

Help your healthcare provider understand how seizures are affecting your life

BE VOCAL...

BE HONEST...

BE SPECIFIC...

about how seizures cause you to limit your social life or work. Don’t assume your healthcare provider knows this if you aren’t telling them.

Take all the support you can get

Sometimes it can help to have a little backup during your appointment. Consider including a care partner or bringing a Doctor Discussion Guide to help reinforce the impact seizures are having.

I thought that I was being fearless by enduring the seizure, or focal seizure, without taking medication. . . . My doctor later told me that I was actually doing damage to myself.”
