Diagnosis

How many seizures do I need before they diagnose its epilepsy? I had 1 in May the 3 in succession in August. On Topiramato 150mg soon to be 200mg.

  1. Hi there,

    You need to have two seizures. As a child at 9 I had one, then at 10 I had another and I was diagnosed with epilepsy. Reach out to your neurologist to see. Or were you diagnosed?
