Advice & Tips: Diastat is a very helpful drug. It works very quick if administered at first onset of seizure. My seizures would last sometimes from 15 to 45 minutes. And some would almost last to an hour. These are cluster seizures that I'm talking about,but when Diastat is used it would get into my system and these seizures would stop at about the 7 to 10 min mark. But expect a drwzy spell . I usually sleep for about 2 to 3 hrs. after a single 20mg. dose of Diastat. But it works.
Side effects: drowsiness

Advice & Tips: i seriouly belive this is a temp soultion for a permant problam i had more positive effect with my THC lience.. It helped a greaty deal coming off the diazapam .. it seems as if the diazapam pulled me out of a seizure but later also causes seizures and addition. The medical THC food like butter or cream that my diet craves seem to help way better. the omga fatty 3 6 9 that r found in the seeds and THC product.. helped.. you have to have a licence and live in the proper state. The cost was aproblem and insurance did not cover this ...they should i was having less seizures..

Advice & Tips: I try to stick to as low a dose as possible. At the moment I need to increase it slightly to have some during the day. If you can get away with a low dose and still feel benefit then stick with it because the higher the dose the more the side effects. When used in conjunction with Baclofen, it works really well.
