Hi!
I'm a 25yo WM who was diagnosed with "Infantile Seizures" at apx age 1 or 2 and placed on phenobarbital until apx age 4. Now I'm 25 with a lot of questions about the long term effects of both the seizures (I had 2 episodes) and the medication I was on. Sorry I can't be more exact on dates, my mom died a few yrs ago and was the one who would have known.
What I Know
Until age 4 when I came of the pheno I was a healthy, slightly underweight child, by the time I started kindergarten I had ballooned to nearly 100lbs.
Second I have very few memories of childhood up to age 12.
Third I've had some severe issues with depression and have been predominantly unresponsive to or had severe adverse reactions to every depression medication I've been on.
Before someone gets the wrong impression, I'm not sure that these are inter-related or causative, I just want to know if anyone else is in the same boat or if anyone else has any information regarding the situation I'm in. Thanks!
