Epilepsy.com > This website was once my most favorite for searching for loads and loads of information about epilepsy. But, like how so many things change these days, someone had to ?rearrange things? or so-called ?make improvements?. There was a ?Site Map? on there at one point, which was like an excellent table of contents for the entire epilepsy.com website. Personally, I consider the epilepsy.com site as being a bit better than the epilepsyfoundation.org (Epilepsy Foundation of America) site. But will also say that each site has a lot of good and helpful sources of information. Just wish that either one or both of these groups would create something, preferably without involving anyone famous, to be shown on television nationwide, on one of the main TV stations in the United States of America.

> At this site there is one section for General Information, and then another section with a listing of each individual seizure medication. Each one of the seizure medications listed, name brand and generic, has its own link. Click on any one and it will lead you to the introduction page for the medication. On the right-hand side of the page is a menu box titled ?Topics List?. Inside that menu box, directly below the words ?Topic List? are 3 tabs?Basic, Intermediate, Advanced. Click on any of the 3 individual tabs and you should see a scroll down listing of bullet points. A few of the bullet points are repeated under each tab, such as ?What is (name of drug) used far? What are the most common side effects? What are the most serious side effects??, but there might be some slightly different and or additional information. Anyway, there is a whole lot of information for each one of the medications. Plus, there?s another box located underneath that topics list, for a new comprehensive downloadable medication sheet, which is a pdf file. One more thing to add to this is that there is also a site for the ?International AED Name Database?, where you can search by Brand, Generic, Country, and or Company. If you were to search by Generic name, the results would show what the brand name is is which country and the company that manufactures the drug. Before I knew of this new source, where you can find what is what and in which country, I only knew of the one International AED Database available via the site for the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE).
