What words have
you left unspoken?

Let's put your everyday experience into words for your healthcare provider.

You refuse to let epilepsy keep you from living on your own terms.
But lingering thoughts like this can affect your day.

What if I have a seizure right now? What will I do?

Whether you’re out running errands or hanging out with family and friends, feeling unprepared to treat a seizure can become distracting, making you feel not fully present.

Let your healthcare provider know how your unspoken thoughts interfere with everyday activities. Then you can discuss how to be prepared if a seizure strikes while going about your day.

Talk about options with your
healthcare provider.

Even with your daily anti‑seizure medication, breakthrough seizures are still possible. Sometimes these can be episodes of frequent seizures.* That's where an immediate-use seizure medication (also called a rescue medication) comes in.

*Refers to seizures that occur more often (2 or more in a day) and are different than your typical seizure pattern.

This type of medication is used to stop an episode of frequent seizures. It does not replace your daily anti‑seizure medication. An immediate-use seizure medication can be given by you or someone else right when an episode starts or at any point during one.

Say it.

"Hey doctor, when I'm out having dinner with friends, I often think about the possibility of a seizure—where I'd go or how I'd handle it. It's hard to be present."

Be prepared.

"I'd like to talk about something I can have with me to use right away if an episode of frequent seizures happens, like an immediate-use seizure medication."

Share your unspoken words during your next healthcare provider visit.

If you're a care partner, you can do this on behalf of your loved one, too.
