06 Aug 2012	As you see I've tried many options to eliminate epilepsy.Sabril was just another opportunity for me.Unfortunately it didn't cause much of an improvement with my problem.There was slight improvement but not enough to start taking another med.I'm sure it will help someone out there.Thanks —Posted by Frank Magliocca Respond Display Name: Email: (Required) Notify me of new comments Email me monthly survey results Sending...
