Asking your views on epilepsy and medication

Taking the tablets survey

Asking you about epilepsy and medication

Managing epilepsy is more than ‘just taking the tablets’. Some people are happy taking medication and consider this part of managing their epilepsy. Others may be uncomfortable  or have concerns about taking medication.  Epilepsy Society, working  in partnership  with Professor Rob Horne, Centre for Behavioural Medicine, and The School of Pharmacy, University of London, have designed a survey to find out more about epilepsy and medication. > Take part in our survey
